You can then spend the time to blow up the drives on your own as others have already mentioned and dispose of the components wherever. I personally disassemble the drives, keep the magnets, muck up the plates, then throw the components into a blue bin. Some other people on the other hand will software wipe them first, before going gangbusters, others will just maintain a random shoe box of hard drives and never get around to it (then magically find lots of money worth of bitcoin on them).
Your call.

Looks like you need a special star shaped screw driver to open them up? Or is there an simpler way to do it with typical house hold tools?
