Can I donate old magazines to charity shops?

mood

I'm going through my wardrobe and am donating some stuff to charity. I've old magazines I was going to put in the bin but though a charity shop might get money for them. Do they take old magazines?

I doubt it, who'd pay money for old magazines? You should just bin them...in the green bin if course

I bought one for 40c in a charity shop. If they sold each magazine I give them for 40c the would make a good few quid! I'll ring them Saturday morning before I leave the house.

Not every charity does. And even of the charities that do accept them, it's usually on a store to store basis, as far as I know. But do ask anyway because worse case scenario, they can get some cash for recycling them

My mum loves buying magazines from charity shops so some must take them! Oxfam maybe?

If you give them to a charity shop that works with something like a hospital or a refuge they might find a home in a common room or waiting room (as long as they're not really old or the kind of magazines that only really make interesting reading in the week they're out)
