Innovative Idea – Magazine Management

Magazines are one of those items that easily add clutter to your home.  Sometimes they arrive new in your mailbox before you have time to read last month’s editions.  So how can you handle them?

Here are some tips for managing the piles of magazines on the coffee table:
  • While reading your mag, dog ear articles, recipes, and images that you really like.  When you’re finished with the magazine, tear all of your dog-eared pages out to save, and then recycle the rest of the magazine.  
  • For even better paper management, scan all of these dog-eared articles, recipes, and images so you can get rid of the paper all together!
  • Recycle magazines older than one year (most of the information is now irrelevant; you can rip out favorite pages to save).  Try to recycle magazines before they pass 6 months in your home.
  • If you have magazines you didn’t pull anything out of, rather than recycle them, you can donate to schools or senior centers to be used for projects or read again.
  • If you want to completely rid yourself of extra magazine clutter and you have a tablet, consider signing up for the electronic version of your magazine subscriptions instead.
