Seems to me I've recently read an article on The Register where a company will drive to your site with a DISK SHREDDING machine and chop it into little bits. Seems like a plausible biz...though I, being the Doubting Thomas, would like tp see MY DRIVE actually dismantled rather than getting handed a bit of chewed junk that is reported to be my drive. Too many scary scenarios possible...

Meanwhile, I destroy critical drives by hand, as needed, then deposit the bits and pieces here, there, and everywhere (according to disposal codes). Those drives that contain credit card numbers never leave my side (so to speak). Don't have too many, but is more than one.

Your mileage may vary.
