Local inexpensive media destruction?

Anyone know of a local/inexpensive media destruction service?


As I'm sure many of you do, I have a box with 15+ years of obsolete
hard drives, floppy, tapes, CDR, DVDR, flash, etc... in my house.

While there has been many trips to e-scrap over the years to get rid of
computers, media is always removed before hand.

There are plenty of companies that will provide me with destruction
services including secure transport or on-site processing, liability
insurance, certification, logs of all items, videos of my actual items
being shredded, etc.. they all come with equally impressive bills.

Simple degausing and/or physical destruction (preferably while I watch
because that'd be cool) and the resulting scrap recycled is sufficient.


If not, sounds like an opportunity for a data destruction party where
someone has/rents a degauser and appropriate shredder.
