I would like to know how everyone handles media destruction. I know
about degaussing and shredding for tapes containing sensitive
information, but what about tapes that do not have sensitive information
or even cleaning tapes?

We never really, really know for sure if the tapes have sensitive information or not so we always play it safe - we send our tapes to Iron Mountain for destruction.  By the time I research what could have been on that tape previously, my company will have paid less to just destroy the tape properly.
