/agree with Ed
Also, you might want to consider local destruction instead
of shipping things off to "professionally certified" blah blah blah... data
destruction houses. We had a pallet ready to ship to some place that would
certify the destruction etc for about $5000 and we found a local shop that
picked up and shredded the media for about $350. Further I got to
"certify" the destruction with my own eyes. I can't believe the premium
paid for a piece of paper that says your data got destroyed. At the end of
the day that's a very expensive piece of paper that most places are probably not
legally required to have.

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.
