There's places that'll come onsite and shred hard drives, but the cost would probably be unreasonable for just a few drives. Every time I've seen it done it's been dozens or more.
Just open the drives, take out the platters, and smash them with a hammer. I used to do break/fix hardware repair for some government agencies and that's what our official practice was.
EDIT: If the drives are currently working, using hardwipe or similar as suggested above before breaking if one is truly paranoid.
EDIT2: Moving to Tech Talk subforum.
