Can I hijack this thread and ask the opposite question?

What if I wanted to securely delete items in a drive before tossing an old drive in the trash...is there a program for doing so, so that nobody would have a chance to recover and steal information like financial stuff from the disgarded drive? I was thinking that you had to pass the drive over a magnet and then beat it to death with a hammer, but I am told that people who know what they are doing can still get some information from that.
