What to do with old magazines?

[Anonymous]

I have a year's worth of New Yorkers. Should I toss them? Recycle? Donate?

I thought I'd catch up but after second child, I just don't have the time...

Toss them. Really, it's ok.

I put an ad on craigslist to see if anyone wanted my magazines (a couple years worth). I've seen posts where schools/people are searching for magazines for projects (like a PP said). I had a few responses, but ultimately no one ever claimed them so they went to recycling. Oh well.

Freecycle. Or a friend on bedrest. Or prison? If not, then recycyle.

Some I leave at school (teachers like to read them or use them in projects), others I leave in doctor's offices, retirement communities, etc. For a while, we were going to the county health department on a regular basis and I used to leave a bunch there as well as books my kids didn't read anymore. Have you seen the waiting rooms were people get free/reduced cost services? Many of them are pretty stark and the magazines/books are greatly appreciated and no one cares if people take them home with them.

Definitely Freecycle if you're up for it. I've seen loads of similar postings for magazines that have been taken.

Take them to the nearest gym. I bet a lot of folks at the gym would like to read the New Yorker while on a cardio machine. I take all of my magazines to my gym when I'm done with them.
