H Barbara, I have a jobber in Philadelphia who I send my unwanted
bound/unbound journals to. He doesn't pay me alot of money but I feel better
no throwing them out. He sells mostly to third world countries. The only
downside is that I have to pack and send them from Canada. But I know he
might come into your library and do all that for you. You can send me an
email and I will give you the particulars.

Barbara,

Our campus has a contract with a local recycling company for all paper and
cardboard products. We fill up special bins that get picked up once or
twice a week. They will even make special pickups if we fill up the bins.
The library building houses several academic departments so we do compete
for empty bins. The bins can even be wheeled in closer to the stacks for
easier disposal. You might want to approach your facilities department to
see if they would be interested in setting up a campus wide program.
