When you mention recycle, does that mean you want to wipe the drive and give to someone else to use or take it to a recycle center for disposal? If you mean to reuse the computer, you will need to make sure you have a recovery disk so you can reinstall the OS after you wipe the drive. If you are going to scrap it, a drill will work or often times computers have a utility built in that will accomplish this as part of the Bios. You may need to contact the manufacturer to use this.
