Is that true - these catalogs can't be recycled? I've been tossing the auction catalogs in the recycling bins for years. Aren't they just like any other paper or magazine which would go in the recycling bin?

Ever wondered why all your auction catalogs are mailed to you via priority? Because they can't be mailed via media mail. The auction houses would save thousands of dollars on every auction if they could use media mail.

I've got a ton here in Vancouver. If anybody wants to drop by and pick some up, let me know.

Canada has no media rate, so they are about $18 each to ship.

I just take them to the recycle bin in town, they never come back. You can recycle.

As a periodical, SCD is mailed via 2nd Class Mail. It's a special category t encourage dissemination of newspapers, magazines, etc.

There is a lot of red tape to acquiring a 2nd Class mailing permit, but the postage break is (or at least used to be) substantial. It also used to be the postal norm that 2nd Class mail traveled about the same speed at 1st Class.

I am one of the few on my street that pays to have recycling picked up. It's a nominal fee and takes a few minutes more work but recycling is good. And the AH catalogs recycle as well as the rest of the stuff. And many times they are the heaviest items too!!

How much money do you think a years worth of AH Catalogs would fetch? Thats actually a really good idea, but some of the old AH catalogs might be worth something in years to come! I love my old Sloat catalogs along with Lipset.
