Chicago Area FREE: Tons of woodworking magazines

No takers? If nobody wants them I’ll probably be recycling them over the weekend. It’d be a shame to just throw them all away.

Oh and for what its worth I’m in Streamwood for pickup.

Matt – perhaps there is a school in your area with shop classes & they might like them…

I dispose of my old magazines by taking them to doctor’s offices when visiting and also donate them to hospitals. I figure if I can expose someone to woodworking through a magazine. I started doing this when I got tired of having only 3 year old copies of Newsweek and Sports Illustrated to read during a doctor visit. Any place where there is a waiting room is a good place to drop off some magazines.

Thanks for the suggestions, will look into it. Do libraries take magazine donations?

Matt….I can tell you that the Bartlett library takes them. Lived in Bartlett for 20 years, and when we moved away in 2012, gave them a ton of books and mags.

Have you contacted the VA hospital near you? The library in mine takes the magazines and welcomes their use.
