Recycling Magazines?

Question

Where can I find someone in Connecticut that will remove/recycle magazines?

This is for a business, not a residence so dropping them in an orange bin won't work in this case.

I work for a magazine and we have years of old magazines stocked up in the bay in boxes. We used to have someone who bought them, but those days are long since past and we have tons of boxes in the back which are a potential fire hazard, not to mention stealing valuable space.

The other issue I run into is that my boss wants to get some sort of reimbursement for them as the amount in question is significant. He doesn't want a tax break, he wants cash in hand.

The only place that I've discovered that remotely does this has a 20 ton minimum. While have have a lot of magazines, we're about 10 tons short of their required minimum.

Any ideas?

Answer 2

Hmmmm... tough question. hummingbird has a pretty good idea. Have you checked to see where your local recycling collection company takes its magazines? I did a quick search on http://www.earth911.org for Connecticut and there's a place called Marcus Paper Company that is a commercial drop-off for various paper products. Perhaps contacting them could lead to something? Good luck!

Answer 3

not really an answer,but maybe a solution for you to think about.See if you can make contacts with others who may be experiencing the same problem.And then,maybe you`ll have enough(20 Tons) to discard.Just a Thought!

Answer 4

I don't really know where you could recycle them for cash, but your boss should want to recycle without a cash incentive. Recycling that many magazines could make the magazine look very favorable if they published an article about their contribution. Reader respect should mean more than cash.
