Keep in mind that we recycle as part of our de-cluttering--if you have an opportunity, do a search on eBay or a used book search site to see if there is an interest in these journals. If someone else can use them, then take them to a used bookstore or offer them for sale in an appropriate place. If they're marginal in that way but of general interest, then find other places--senior center, nursing home, a hobby or professional association related to the subject matter--and offer them there. The last option should be the paper recycle bin.

That's why this can take a little while. Responsibly getting rid of our clutter and trying to not resort to the landfill takes more work than just tossing stuff.

Keep up the good work, and report back--once that many magazines are gone you'll have that space to use for something else, or it is the start of the removal of other clutter in the room.
