破坏 is the most common general verb for 'to destroy, damage, wreck', covering both concrete things (buildings, environment) and abstract ones (relationships, peace). 毁坏 is a close synonym but more formal and often for physical objects; 摧毁 emphasizes forceful destruction, and 毁灭 means total annihilation. 糟蹋 adds the sense of wasting or ruining through misuse.
