YES... Actually, I KEEP all copies of my "Model Railroading" and "FineScale Modeller"magazines as reference. BUT my Time, Newsweek, etc are all recycled along with newspaper and cardboard and junk-mail.
In San Carlos, California... the Garbage company gives us recycling bins... for cans, glass, plastic, and for paper. AND they actually sort the garbage itself for those recycleable materials that others are so lazy as to put in the TRASH.

Well, I don't subscribe to magazines anymore, for the last 30 or so years. They're too full of commercials, and not enough of meaningful stuff. The local newspaper we subscribe to we give to my former secretary since her husband and she don't subscribe to them so as to save money, but she wants to see them to look at what's on sale at the various stores, and to generally see the "overview" of what the "news"papers find valuable enough to use print and paper for. I remember about 40 years or 45 years ago, maybe as a part of a Boy Scout project, we did just as you recommend since I lived in a "big city" and subscribed to the morning and evening papers, which was a LOT of paper, but, as I got older, other projects such as college and graduate school caught all my time, as did marriage and raising children. Now I subscribe (or my wife subscribes) to the local newspaper, while I subscribe to a weekly edition of a national newspaper (The Washington Times). Oh, and we subscribe to the really small county paper. My wife uses those to line the bird cages we have. And the other one my former secretary gets, and the The Washington Times I keep as a reference resource for a couple of months, and then am too lazy to pile them up and go give it to some recycling center. It takes too much gas to do that, and, as "old" as I am now, I think it's time for the "younger generations" to do what I did 40-45 years ago, before the words "recycle", "recycling", "recyclable" were ever even known yet. God Bless you.

Yes I do. I also use catalog pages from llbean to pack boxes for shipping. It's very lite weight, cushions the item and maybe the other person will buy stuff from the crinkled pages.
