I just throw mine in the wood stove and leave it ther till there's nothing left. Takes about a week.

Ahh, the old "Catskill recycling" at work.  Pretty much the same as "Adirondack recycling."

It's close to that; top-end forensic/intelligence recovery programs are extremely powerful, it is really a question of just how valuable the data is to the person seeking to recover it, and how much time and effort they are willing to put into the recovery.

During my uh.... troubles the 2 computer experts who were there on the raid had Dayrunners stuffed to bulging full with disks and CD-ROMs of recovery software. I tried to look but they wouldn't let me. :-)

If you're going to sell the computer or donate it to charity, it's always wise to just wipe the system so people with casual knowledge wouldn't be able to recover any personal data such as account numbers, passwords, etc.

Granted, there are some folks who partition their hard drive with encrypted sectors, but unless you're doing bad stuff, not worth it.

And if you're trying to get rid of it before the party wagon and Chris Hansen come for you, just put a few 12-gauge rounds through the hard drive and smash the remaining bits.

Man, you guys are careful! When I've thrown away old computers, I just put them in a garbage bag and toss them in the trash can. A guy picks up all the trash in a pickup piled high with garbage bags, then ferries his load to a mother ship garbage truck, where the whole mess is compacted. The compacted load goes to a landfill. Seems to me, someone would have to mine through many thousands of smashed up garbage bags full of rotten food before he came across one with a computer in it. If he's willing to do that, he's too dumb to get an online banking password off an old hard drive smashed up with leftover cheeseburgers and watermelon rinds. I've followed the same practice since my first 8088, so far, so good.

Use an industrial hydraulic press.  That should foil any recovery efforts.  Anything short of Cyberdyne Systems anyway.
