A great way to declutter is to bring your old magazines to your local emergency room, doctor's office, or dentist. Cut out your address labels for identity security.
Last night, I took a friend to the ER and waited for three hours, and they literally had two magazines from January as their reading material.
...or to the gym; restroom at work; assisted living facilities; car service places; and others.
Good ideas! My MIL used to take hers to the local clinic. I took mine to the library, and they disappeared fast.
At our local grocery store there is a bookcase where you can dump what you don't need and take what you want. Some days I find golfing magazines from the early 80's, other times I find the newest and best. Bonus: I return them after reading so my house is magazine-free forever.
I can also get rid of books easily, or take anything that strikes my fancy, without library late fees. There's the thrill of the hunt, and I can return the books when I'm done.
I pass on extra school and art/craft supplies to my kids' school. I recently found a big bag of packing peanuts, which were passed on to the kindergarten.
