I have the same issue. Many magazines cooking, etc. I do save some of them but need to get rid of others. Usually I take them to charity places and leave them there. I also suggest that for those involved in such things as a Dessert Exchange or small household food exchange that they could bring any cookbooks, magazines or even cooking tools that are unneeded and offer them to the group. Its a good way to get rid of things and maybe find that someone else could use it.
Also some Metra stations in the suburbs have racks set up where people can leave books and magazines for train riders to take and leave and reading matter on the train. Be sure to remove your name and address from them.
