The question that can't be answered

What do you do with old magazines?

I simply have no more storage space. When we moved from Florida to West Virginia I simply tossed them in the trash burdening our landfills. National Geographic, Smithsonian Magazines, you would think libraries would want them but no. Automobile magazine, Car and Driver, Model Railroader, American Rifleman, etc. etc. also in the trash save a few that had my letters to the editor.

Now eleven years later I have built up another stock pile and face the same problem. I could drop them off at doctor offices and similar places, but cutting off approximately 350 address labels is a non-starter. I could toss them immediately after reading, but they are a wonderful historical and information resource.

Shucks, maybe a few at a time and the trash guy wouldn't hate me so bad.......

and my follow-up:

Years ago I partially solved the space problem by cutting out advertisements and articles in magazines that intrigued me and tossed the rest. Todays magazines have lost the style and romance of days past. Now-a-days it's all technical boring stuff with no imagination in either advertisements or text. I miss Brock Yates and his kind.

My automotive binders. There are others.

 In-between there were several responses, but none that solved the problem.
