How do you go about recovering info from drives that have been formatted? Always been a topic of interest.

boot-n-nuke

it formats the hard drive writes over it again with useless junk and then formats it again... about 30ish times. NO date will possibly survive that. make sure you don't need your computer for a day

static.... if your school has a vandigraf generator... that would work very good

put it in the washing machine every time i put my cell phone through, it ruins it..... so I'm assuming that It'd ruin your hard drive

you can zero it to absolutely wipe EVERYTHING off it, but it'll take days depending on how big it is

Well, in theory you can still get stuff back after you zero a hdd, but nobody has been able to do it(not like the NSA would tell us even if they had...) yet. And getting stuff back after a normal format is trivial.

To just get rid of it where the drive still works, try AutoClave or DBAN. to render the drive useless but still intact you could try EMP or just open it up and scratch the platters.
