I'm curious to know what you do with old travel information such as guidebooks, catalogs, travel magazines, itineraries, etc...How could you recycle these materials? Where would you recycle them? Any other ideas, please share. Many thanks!
What do you do with old travel information?

Good question. When you travel and finish using your guidebook, you could give it to someone else. You could take your information and turn it into a collage. Or, you could recycle your materials if your city provides recycling.

Hi Richard
Actually I save most of mine, or at least any that pertain to a trip - I put them into the large (gallon-size) ziploc bags, along with notes, tickets, etc., then I put the destination and date of the trip on the outside (with a sharpie, so it's permanent). I use this when I am writing or researching articles, and I've often written multiple articles from the same trip, sometimes months (or longer) afterward, so I just don't feel comfortable letting go of anything......I know, friends label me a pack-rat, and I'm not really that bad, but I do keep things like that for a long time.
But all that said, if you have no need of keeping them, I'm a huge believer in reuse/recycling......
Another idea would be to give them to a local school or daycare - sometimes the kids just cut out the pictures for collages - or to a local nursing home, where folks might enjoy reading the magazines or guidebooks.
