Disposing Hard Drives

EdwardPinkard

Hi, I'm from Toronto. Since I'm a vlogger and photographer, over the years I have accumulated many hard drives. I have like more than ten hard drives in my house. But with SSD's which will give super blazing speed hard drives are useless. You know how annoying it is to use hard drives these days. Hence Now I want to dispose those hard drives. I mean you can't just throw it away. Because E-waste is really dangerous. Everyone should dispose it properly. And the best way to dispose em is by hiring.  So I would suggest everyone to do the same. If anyone have any better options please share it.

Are these disks defective, or can they be wiped and sold?
