What to do with older Mastro and REA auction catalogs?

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.
