I need to destroy a hard disk drive and ensure the contents are never recoverable. What is the best way to do this?

I was thinking of dropping it in a body of water around the GVRD. Would the water damage suffice?

I also need to get rid of some paper, what is the best way to rid of these aside from calling in Shred-it?
