Disposing of hard drives

[JoeThePhotographer]

I was wondering how to dispose of my old hard drives in a responsible way without spending anything.  I have seven, ranging from 1 GB to 200 GB.  I know seven is not a huge number, but I still would prefer not throw them in the trash.  I have already wiped them clean using Truecrypt.

Joe - there are many different eco friendly recycling programs around.  That's how I have been doing it.

If they worked well enough that you could wipe them, they must still work.  Goodwill has a computer recycling center in our community.  Possible there's something similar near you?  They take donations of old unused gear and build systems for other needy organizations.  And the sell used systems to fund their operations.
