I find it enjoyable to disassemble the drives that I want to dispose of.
I take all of the metal bits and throw them in my scrap metal recycling
bin. I throw the boards in my electronics/e-waste recycling bin. I used
to keep the magnets, but I have a pretty good magnet collection now and,
with newer drives, it is too much work to remove the magnets from the
parts they are bonded to.
