[tlug] Disposing of hard drives



My wife pulled a hard drive from her office's computer (medical
records, her boss didn't think taking any chances was a good idea) and
we had a good time disassembling it.  I let her bang on the media a
bit (good decision, she hasn't yelled at me since ;-).  I think the
warrantee has been pretty well voided[1]. :-)

Do the remains need special handling, or can we just drop them in the
non-burnable gomi?

Footnotes: 
[1]  Yeah, I know a specialist can probably still get something off
the media if they really want to.  But the worrisome kind of
specialist is more likely to phish the office, I think.
