You could let it DIAF. At some point the material will reach its curie point and lose all magnetic recordings.

Greetings!

I've been informed that, for PCI-compliance, old hard drives (from
decomissioned servers, etc) need to be degaussed rather than over- written
by something like DBAN.

Does anyone have experience with a company which offers this service and
which they would recommend?  I can Google and get several, but I am
looking for personal experiences any of you may have had.

FWIW, we're in Illinois, about 120 miles south of Chicago.

Thanks!
