Hard Drive Disposal

Good day,

Has anyone gone down the path of shredding hard drives before they leave
your custody?  Anyone have industrial shredders to recommend?

Our procedures currently are to degauss them but that's a hard one to verify
that it worked. We're outsourcing most of our media and paper shredding but
HDs are a separate fee ($20/drive) and not done onsite.

Thanks,
Chris
