In Canada, all government surplus computers have all the HD's removed and are sent out to be destroyed. I believe the HD's are melted down. The odd time they miss an HD and the news media have a field day with it. I have seen several demos where data on an HD that was formatted, repartitioned and formatted several times have the data recovered in an amazingly short time.
