I do not get this thread... You want to make the data non-recoverable?

Create a vice.
- B&D workbench, vice bolted to bench, plywood squares separated by a
gap & central bolt to slide CD down over and even another "template"
over the top to shield most of the CD from flying about.
Whack the CD.
- Wear goggles, club hammer, club hammer & brick bolster.

It is non recoverable to anyone without very specialist custom
tracking equipment.

Colleague modified a press to shear a stack at a time with a simple
jig assembled out of flat bars. Do not burn them, the chemicals
released are noxious.

If this is to destroy financial data - any company, employer, business
development manager or gov't agency can get bank details and full bank
statements either under the table or legitimately. Bank staff have
absolutely no integrity.

I should add, it is very advisable to keep at least one copy of all
data. You never know what you may need a decade or two down the line,
or how valuable that data may be.

I bought one of these about three years ago:

or: http://tinyurl.com/6opzuay

It turns a CD or DVD into 6mm x 3mm pieces in about 8 seconds.
