Magazines, catalogs, and telephone directories with glossy paper and covers can be recycled in your blue bin. Don't worry about removing staples or covers; just throw them in.

Are reuse options available?

In addition to sharing newspapers and magazines with friends and family, you can donate them to community groups and nonprofit organizations. Take a look at our Magazine and Catalog Reuse page. Even some phone books can be reused!

If you'd like to reduce the amount of catalogs you receive, take a look at our Stop Junk Mail page, and if you'd like to stop receiving phone books, visit our Phone Books Opt-Out page.
