I have so many magazines. I organized them and put them into bins like Rubbermaid, that were just about the exact size of a magazine. Then I had a bunch of bins. I took the magazines and ripped out all the ads and all the stories I did not want to keep. I was able to get about twice the amount in each bin. I still have a bunch of bins. I am going through each one while I watch TV at night, pull out any pattern or info I can use and get rid of the magazine. My neighbor has recently begun quilting and I will pass them on to her to look at, rip and recycle. Probably should have done this from the get-go!
