How old?  Maybe you could donate them to a local school, church, or other charitable organization that could make use of them.

John,  but dont forget to remove or wipe your hard drive. You might have personal info on it.

Do the right thing, recycle it.  http://www.epa.gov/e-cycling/donate.htm

Destroy them and send into the dumpster.

If you are in Cali, they will charge you to dispose of them, so hide them deep in the can.

I thought there were places you can recycle that shit.

There is an organization called freecycle with chapters across North America.

It works on the theory that one man's trash, is another man's treasure.

Through Freecycle, you can take your unwanted / unneeded materials and donate it to someone who has a need for it. People post what they have, and receive emails from those who might need it. It's a great way to help others, and help the environment as well, because we won't have so much perfectly good material filling up our nation's land fills.

You can find a local Free-cycle group in your area by visiting www.freecycle.org

Hope That Helps

take out the harddrives and take them apart tear all the stuff apart in them so no one could possibly get any thing off of them

Get an external harddrive case, connect via USB/Firewire and format the harddrives that way.

Old CRT monitors are worthless radiation emitters.

Certainly destroy the hard drives if you're going to dump them.

hammer two nails into each hard drive.

take them all to the gun range.

do the american thing and shoot them with your AR15 while talking shit about another culture who has more oil than yours.

Nails into the hard drive wouldn't destroy every sector on the platters to stop them being read.

Either do a full format or run them over a powerful magnet if you want your animal porn stash to vanish.
