Actually "They" have been known to retrieve data from the shattered platters of hard drives. Like a wedge from a piece of pie, if the data hasen't been written over multiple times. That is an extreme case though.
Computers plus in the mini mall in Waterloo takes old computers for recycling. 6514304 http://www.computerplusny.com/ It's free and they even come and pick it up.

Make sure you wipe the drive, you never know what some unscrupulous person may be able to discover.
and I would do that how????????
If you are getting a new comp to replace the old one, why not just take out the old hard drive and put it in the new comp? It is very easy to do. That way you would have extra storage space and could save some of the old data, or you could just reformat the old hard drive once it is in the new comp.

Okay, I'll burn it.
