Usually I just shred the address labels and recycle them all. There's a program in my area from RecycleBank that gets me money back depending on the weight of my recyclables. I can earn up to $400 a year, so recycling is the best option for me at least.

It takes great determination but you can DO IT! Throw them out. Fantasizing about donations is just a stall tactic. Throw them out, do it now.

Just throw them away. I used to keep all of mine. One day I asked myself why and couldn't come up with a compelling reason.

If you don't want to throw them away so they become useless give them to someone who will read them or would like to read them. That way you are paying forward and tell him or her to do the same after they are done. If you don't feel like throw them away because you need a home for everything you keep. I have thrown away more stuff that I didn't realize I never needed than I ever have. Video cards, power supplies, screws, sound cards, and ram. Just took up space and I never needed it. Wasn't enough to make a whole pc either and no one wanted it.

I take mine to work and throw them on the crew table. My co-workers read/take what they want and then the rest go in the recycle bin.

I think you should scan them into PDF format and organize them.

Even if you had a 1000 it would not take too long.
