Old Computers and Privacy Issues

What do we need to think about when disposing of old computers? The data on the hard drive may contain personal information about customers.  Does a simple re-format of the drive eliminate all the info?  Would that comply with Pricacy law requirements to protect consumer privacy. 

Is there a specific guide available to follow when updating equipment and disposing of the old?

Any insight would be appreciated.
