Here's the best way to recycle your old magazines:

Take them with you to your dentist appointment and leave them in the waiting room.  You can leave them in any doctor's waiting room, or at the gym, or you can donate them to the public library, which can sell them for pennies to benefit projects they are doing.   Kindergarten teachers and daycare teachers love them-kids can learn a lot, work on their cutting and pasting, and have a blast making collages out of them!  Also, drop off English newsletters and magazines with groups learning English.  It's a great way to help them learn!  If you get Spanish, etc., magazines, the same groups would love to have them!  Just drop them off, and leave a post-it note on it saying "Pay it forward."  And there's always freecycle!  http://www.freecycle.org

 Don't just throw them away!  Someone else will use it!
