I’d recommend wiping disks before of disposing.  It is very quick and easy to 
use a magnetic tool before throwing it in the recycle bin.  The drive may get 
“lost” in transit before getting to Excess and Salvage.

If you dispose of them via campus recycling, they are shredded. According to 
Eric Anglim:

"Our contract with our electronic recycler calls for them to shred all hard 
drives we send, either those already pulled out of systems, or for them to pull 
hard drives out of CPUs or copier/printers and shred them."

Is there a place on campus that has a machine that chops up hard drives into 
bits?
