I will do this.  It seems like we never can get to all of them.

I always drop them off at the doctors or lab.  I also drop them off at a senior's center.

You can also donate them to the library.  I just did that a few weeks ago as well.

Like several have mention if you take to a nursing home or another "senior  living center" where there might be  "confused" seniors living be sure to take current mags. If they see an older date it can really "mess them up". Schools  make great places for older ones.... just be aware of the ones you are giving. None with "sexy" girls on the front or "sexy sayings". Know what I mean. So many magazines have these today and kids would just go everywhere with one of those. If you been around Elementary kids you know what I mean.LOL

These places are great some of which I haven't thought of. But another great place to take old magazines is to nursing homes, they appreciate different things to read.

Thank you. That is an excellent idea to declutter and help someone else at the same time.

I knew to pass them along to just anyplace that has a waiting area.  I like the idea of checking with the schools to see if they need them for projects.  I also will be checking out what several people said about Martha Stewart's christmas tree made of magazines.

adult care centers and retirerment homes often are glad to get them too.  Schools also use them for class projects.

This is a great idea, that way the magazines are getting a recycle.

We have three local nursing homes that are delighted to get these current magazines.  I also like the idea of taking them to doctor and dentist office, maybe your hair dresser, car dealership, etc. anywhere people have to wait for service.

I take all of my magazine and books to a senior hightrise.  They enjoy reading them BUT don't have the extra money to buy them.

Just make sure you take your name and address off them first!~!~

Take your name and address off first. Our senior center has a put and take table. Good way to recycle magazines, books etc.

check out Martha Stewart.com for "magazine christmas trees"  they are beautiful and another way to use up old magazines.   Thanks for the tip!

Maybe a senior center, too? My mom, grandma, friend and I all swap magazines. It is a great way to get a variety of recipes, too.I also remove the address label from my magazines, especially if I plan to take it to a doctor's office to read. That way in case I forget it, there shouldn't be any problem.

This is a great tip. I also take the extra Sunday papers to my local coffee shop (since I only buy them for coupons.)
Thank you Diane!

Right now is the best time to do some paper folds to those magazines and can make Christmas trees out of them.You can even spray paint them green and decorate them.

Never thought to take places.  I think I will take to several places in town.  Many times I have sat at Dr office or Dentist office with nothing to read..      Thanks.

I do that--take them to the waiting room where i work!

posted on 12/3/2011 4:47:47 AM

I pass most of mine along to friends with the intention that they do the same thing.

posted on 12/2/2011 7:38:19 PM

do remember to take off your name and address info from these magazines if you are leaving them in public places.

posted on 12/2/2011 7:31:41 PM

I pass my magazines on to my Mom.  We take turns paying for the subscription.

posted on 12/2/2011 6:18:17 AM

I take my to the local library where they have a magazine swap!
