Answer 1

If you're into crafts and such you can make things out of them.  I make book covers and use the piictures and letters to make greeting cards.

Answer 2

If you have something little to wrap up for X-mas, birthdays,etc.. Wrap it up with a picture from a magazine or paper. Saves you a lot on wrapping paper. It can also be humorous to.

Answer 3

If you donate them to the library or local hospital/nursing home, you can take a tax deduction for the fair value. See the IRS website to find out the value and be sure to get receipts.

Answer 4

You can donate them to your local library sometimes others would like to read old copies of magazines. Another option if your wanting to make money out of them is separate them into years and different magazines and market them on Ebay. Not going to say your going to make alot but it might bring in some cash for them.

Hope that helps

Answer 5

You can donate them to your local old folks home, hospital, library, laundry mat, or thrift shop.  Not sure if you can make any money...maybe you can sell old issues on E-bay.
