Where to Recycle Magazines

Collecting magazines in your home and letting a few (dozen) issues pile up? Guilty.

Whether you’re moving or just sick of looking at your old magazine pile, what can you do with them? This is a perfect Q for this week’s Where Can I Wednesday column.

Where to Recycle Magazines in Philadelphia

This answer’s pretty easy – Magazines can go alongside of paper in your single stream recycling bin. So take them to the curb your next recycling day and say goodbye.

Not ready to part? If you want to call a doctor’s office or beauty salon, local businesses often use extra magazines in their lobby, too.
