If a tape cartridge must be disposed of in a secure manner, you can erase the data
on the cartridge by using a high-energy ac degausser (use a minimum of 2800
oersteds over the entire space that the cartridge occupies). Degaussing makes the
cartridge unusable.
If you burn the cartridge and tape, ensure that the incineration complies with all
applicable regulations.
