You are lucky that you can destroy your tapes as such. I am planning to
do the same, but I have to deal with our Records department first if we
are following the corporate retention policy before I can go ahead with
the disposal. It's turning into a small project now with lots of e-mail
tag and meetings.

We get our machine shop to destroy tapes - a bending machine or shear
makes quick work of them.

Subject: time to grind some tapes!

I have convinced my manager that keeping 18 years of backup clone tapes
is not the best use of our limited vault space.  Therefore, I have
permission to dispose of about 2000 8mm tapes.  That's more than I want
to hit with a sledge hammer myself.

Does anyone have a recommended vendor for mass (secure) tape
disposals?

Thanks,
