Simplest approach - take them to Jamie's. If you want them physically destroyed, they'll be handed over to a recycling company with the necessary grinding machines to turn the drives into small pellets. Drilling a few holes in an aluminium platter is easy enough, but is likely to cause a glass one to shatter. A sufficiently-financed opponent would also be able to recover data from the areas you hadn't damaged.
