What do you do with the old newspapers? Do you sell it to the junk-buyer or have any other better use? I usually sell to the junk-buyer. Will you suggest any better utility of these old newspapers?

We save up newspapers for all sorts of things craft projects making pinatas which we make one for birthdays several times a year. and you can make recycled paper and with an imagination you can make anything that can be made out of a paper product bags,gifts bags,wrapping paper,anyhting.

oh, i never heard about selling newspapers to a junk-collector!!! something that i do with them is make art! papier maché is a form of plaster art, which you can make sculptures from that remain very light (unlike a bronze or clay sculpture). using a mix of glue and water, you can paste strips of old newspaper over a shape such as a food bowl, or lamp shade, once they have been mositened in the glue solution.

That's the usual practice of all. Any other innovative idea?
