Junk Mail

Australia

What do you do with the advertisements and catalogues you get in the mail box? They are usually distributed each week in a bundle. Do you actually use those catalogues to search for a good bargain at the shops or do you just throw them into the recycle bin? Usually, I bring them inside and go through some of them then I recycle excess papers. I would also read the newspapers sometimes as well. What else do you do with them? I sometimes keep a stash so that when I eat some meal that will be messy then I lay the papers over the table and then any food that is spilled will spilt over the paper and not table. That way cleaning up is easy.

I usually toss or reycle any junk mail that we recieve. I try to recycle what I can because I hate throwing paper away when it can be recycled so some trees can be saved. I really don't do anything else creative with them other than that. We use our newspapers to line animal cages and to put on the floor if we have a spill. It sops everything up very easily and are just as easy to pick up and toss in the trash later on.

Fair enough. There's not much I do with them either besides using it to sop up spills on the table.

Mine generally goes straight into the recycle bin unless I am looking at buying something.

It's a good thing that at least it gets recycled.
