I just finished stripping down my wife's old PC and my old PC. Basically removing the hard-drives, so the rest of the PC can be recycled.

We transferred old files and erased what we could, but I wanted to know if there is a good (and easy and safe) way to destroy these old drives? I don't want to just take them to the recycling and possibly have someone try to recover what is on the drives.

Any tips?
