if you subscribe to or buy magazines regularly, what do you do with them after you've read them? do you keep them, throw them away or maybe even sell them? i used to keep old magazines but after a while i ran out of space so i started throwing them away.

Hello there aidenw
I would either put them in the recycling bin as I went or take them to the doctors for their waiting room but if I had a whole collection of a specific subject then I would offer them to someone on freecycle.

Hi, Aiden!
We teachers have a wonderful son to this problem. Many, including this one, bring them to school for the kids to read. I even subscribe to a few I don't read and I don't like, so the kids can have the benefit of something interesting to read.

Actually, I teach high school seniors, not little kids. They love things like Teen People, ESPN, Vibe, etc., but they also like most of what I read, such as Time, Newsweek, Natioal Geographic. etc.

We read them and then donate them to the hospital and/or nursing home so that the patients can read them.
Sometimes my girls cut them up to make stuff out of but usually they get donated.
Have a great day!!

yes of course, donating them to those places is a great thing but some magazines have your name and addresss printed on them and i just don't want them to get into the wrong hands. i guess i could cover them with black markers or tear them off but that would be too tedious. thanks for responding and have a great weekend!

Hi aidenw,
Well I used to subscribe to a magazines and I have still got them as I used to file the the pages I want for reference and throw away the rest of the magazines so there is less clutter.

I collect a few old magazines, then I either use them for artwork or throw them in the recyling bin. Or I cut out nice pictures from the magazines and put them in an album. I'm silly, right? =x

I am not one to read magazines and such, but If I were I know I would keep them for awhile and then recycle them or give them to other people or maybe even make fun projects out of them if I could. I agree that they can take up a lot of space.
