Never ever through anything out.
Firstly give or sell them to other lacemakers in your area. Many lace
guilds or groups have a mechanism to recycling old magazines / books etc
to newer members be it a sign at a lace day saying 'free to a good home'
or selling them for a small cost and using the money for library books.
Secondly many OP shops will accept them and sell them on to interested
parties. my knitting group always goes there for extra knitting needles
and old knitting patterns.
Thirdly donate them to a local school or church group for their annual
fair, most have a secondhand or preloved table with books and other bits
and pieces. I once bought a huge selection of tatting patterns at a
charity fair (these were taken from magazines and on the surface did not
look good but the patterns were lovely).
Forthly offer to send out a list of what you have (ie we contact you
privately) and if we want them then we can pay you the postage for your
magazines.
Finally there is ebay

Hi,
I was going over some old lace magazines and was wondering what you are
doing with them. Do they end up in the recycling bin or do you give them to
other lace makers.
I have so many magazines and I want to down size a bit. To tell the truth
many are already "old fashioned". There are so many new ideas around that
these magazines are just passe.
