If you’re like me and LOVE magazines, then I am sure you also have the problem magazine piles getting higher and higher. So what do you do with them? Here are a few ideas!

Donate them to your local library. Our library has limited funds, so we usually donate old books (and a whole STACK of my magazines) to them. They sell it for a odd Rand or two, and this means new books for them!
Give them to a doctor’s office, or a old age home. There will always be a need for a good read, so share them with a hospital, old age home, or even a school. There are many schools that use magazine for projects etc.
Recycle them! In this way, they can be used to make brand new magazines for you to read. To get more info on recycling newspapers/magazines, you can contact The Paper Recycling Association of South Africa at 011 803 5063 (www.prasa.co.za) or Mondi Recycling at 012 386 1381 (www.paperpickup.co.za)
Recreate them! If you are feeling creative, why not make something new out of your old magazines? Here are some ideas for you to get started on. I am sure most of you already saw the first picture, but I decided to add it anyway, as I think it is such a cool idea! With my growing stack, I will be able to have a whole set of these “chairs”!
