Are there any walkup services that will shred a hdd

UPS store and office max will only do paper. Will any stores do this?

I would google for one.

Standard HD's I would format then take it outside and beat it with a sledgehammer.

You did not say exactly where you are located so we can't assist in a search. How many drives?

In the USA .

I have one very old and very big maxtor 300gb drive.

I did Google it and one suggestion was to drill holes in it.

That is what the army does here. First they nuke it inside a strong elektromagnet, then they drill holes, and when the container is full they deliver it at the scrapyard and monitor the scredding

Otherwise known as degaussing.  It is not just an electromagnet.  It must have an alternating magnetic field where the N and S poles are constantly changing with a strong gaussian force.

There are 3^rd parties that can sanitize magnetic media.  Albeit, a Sledge Hammer is quite effect and more Phun !
