PC Disposal discussed in article: Data destruction and certification has long been available to companies looking to jettison large amounts of used equipment.

Now for $25 or so plus the cost of shipping, PCDisposal will destroy your equipment and send you a certificate confirming that the data has been destroyed or erased and disposed of in an EPA-compliant manner.

Quote from PC Disposal: "As companies get ready to clean their closets, drive cleansing should be more than just an afterthought," said Kory Bostwick of PC Disposal.
