Stephen, 1. Some type of wipe process...such as PGP Wipe, with different passes over the media depending on how secure you want to be. 2. Degaussing - i.e magnetic wiping of the data from the device. 3. Destruction - Should be clear cut what you would do.
I'm sure there are others, but this should give you at least three options. Keith Duemling MCP Computer Security: "A false sense of security is worse than being unsecure."
