Find out how to wipe all the data from your old hard drive using the free software Darik's Boot and Nuke. You'll just need a spare USB drive to run it.
After erasing the drive, you can safely dispose of your old computer.

Download Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN):

Download Rufus to load DBAN onto your USB drive:

If you need a USB stick, I recommend these Kingston drives
