I consulted a lawyer on this and while it is alot of paperwork just for 50-70 cents a drive it covers my butt and theirs and everyone is happy. They will know I'm coming a day or two in advance and I always forward preperation instructions for sensitive items (HDDs, solid state drives, EPROMS and memory cards/sticks NOT RAM).
Are you saying that EPROMs have to be destroyed too? Or that they have to be erased? Is this a requirement for processing government IT assets?
