Catalogs and Magazines

(Magazines)

Rethink & Reduce Tips

• When ordering from a catalog, be sure you tell them not to sell or use your name for any other purpose.
• To cancel a catalog you do not wish to receive, call their 1-800 number to quickly and easily remove your name from their mailing list.
• If you still want to receive certain publications from a company, you can request that they limit the number of catalogs they send you.

Reuse Tips

• Donate magazines to doctor and dental offices, hospitals, and nursing homes, or put them in your lunchroom at work. 
• Courage Center pickup will take National Geographic magazines. www.couragepickup.org or 952-881-1100.
• Pass along items to interested friends.
• Check with your child's school to see if they need any for pictures for art projects.
