Burn Them!

If your city requires you to recycle, then my response would be burn them on the steps of city hall.

Well, for newspapers you have to either tie them up with yarn or some [censored] like that, but I'm pretty sure it's different for magazines.

That's only if you want them recycled. You can just put them in a trash bag.

Some cities will fine you or charge you more if you don't recycle.

Recylcing is a big scam anyway, it doesn't save anyone money, and in most cases it actually produces more pollution from the process of turning the disposed items into a new useable form.

Penn & Teller did an episode of Bullshit! on it... quite interesting actually.

Where I used to live, the city wanted to charge us extra to recycle. So we sort our crap and then pay them extra to sell it? Riiiiiiiight.

Take them to a used bookstore, they'll be thrilled to take them off your hands. That's what I did a few years back. I had a bunch of weightlifting mags (those suckers are expensive!). I first went to the Salvation Army, but they said they don't except mags of any type, just books.

Thank God you and jakethebake aren't in charge of anything.

Yup. Some not very good thinking there.

Besides, anyone who wants to confuse the benefits of recycling with your likelihood of having a non-exploitive government needs their head examined.

Yes. Thank God people that don't like government arm-twisting aren't in charge on anything.
