What is everyone doing for disposal of computing/networking/peripherals?
Do you have HazMat regulatory requirements/procedures?  How about data
classification - are some devices more sensitive than others which
require a signature/2nd signature before disposal?

We send all of our electronic disposal stuff to local recycler. Every
machine, no matter what sort of data it held, either has the drive
removed and destroyed or has it secure wiped with DBAN.
