If you’re feeling paranoid (or just careful) you can take a hammer to them and you can then shatter the disks into tiny pieces, and you’ll be close to guaranteeing no one will get your files. Save it for a bad day when you need to work off some steam, and you’ll even kill two birds with one stone.

Hopefully this article will help protect you, and answer the question of how to dispose of old hard drives.
