Just to clarify... I know that paper is recycleable, but magazines are coated, and so I didn't know if they could be recycled along with my newspapers...

Absolutely! But, because most magazines are printed on a coated paper stock, many recycling centers have separate areas for magazines, newsprint, telephone books, cardboard, etc. -RKO- 05/17/07

If you don't have a place in your area that will take them to recycle, try passing them on. Depending on the type, many nursing homes, adult day care or community centers would love to have the extra reading material. Check w/ your local preschools and elementary schools. Allot of times the kids make projects using pics from mags, etc when studying different letters, numbers, etc. Even though they aren't being recycled, per say, at least they are being reused.

Yes, they are. My community takes magazines and catalogs for recycling.
Check with your city's sanitation department for more details.

We have recycle bins that pick up all paper and plastic,so I would think it is in some way...

Yes, there was a place in Ft. Worth that we used to take cardboard, and they also took books, school papers, shredded paper, and magizines. The money was decent that they paid for it too.....

RKO is correct; check with your own waste management system to see if coated paper needs to be separated (or if they take it at all).

I think so, they are the same as telephone books.
