Data Destruction/Secure Deletion

Hi Folks,
  We are currently going through, and getting rid of, a lot of old
equipment. Part of this is obviously hard drives. We wipe drives with DBAN,
but those drives that we cannot wipe (defective, SCSI, etc) we are having
physically destroyed.

My question for you folks is, what sort of records do you keep (If any)
about the final disposition of data-storage equipment, and how data was
destroyed? and for how long do you keep these records?

Thank You
Frank
