Easiest way to destroy platters from old hard drives?

For years, whenever I replaced an external HD, I took it apart & lied to myself, saying I'd get around to destroying them later. I don't drive, so I'm not going to drive somewhere to recycle them, and I don't have access to the kind of tools to drill through them. There's nothing terribly secretive on them, but still, in this age of identity theft, I don't want someone to be able to recover old data, y'know? What's the easiest way to destroy them?
