Does Salvation Army Take Magazines?

If you are trying to get rid of magazines, the right answer depends on condition, local rules, and whether the item is regulated.

Call the local store first. Donation acceptance changes by location, condition, size, and safety rules.
Call and ask: Do you currently accept this exact item, in this condition, at this location?

Best first call

A nearby donation center, local buy-nothing group, charity thrift store, or municipal recycling page is usually the fastest path.

Do not drop it off if

  • It is broken in a way that makes it unsafe.
  • It is wet, moldy, recalled, or missing required parts.
  • The location says it does not accept that category.

Useful wording

Ask: "Do you currently accept magazines, and do I need to schedule a pickup or use a special drop-off?"
