What happens to all the magazines that don’t sell each month?

Either sent back to the publisher or destroyed on premises. The retailer is reimbursed, the publisher takes the loss.

They send the cover back and get a refund or something

Sent to Africa so the less fortunate children can read them while wearing their Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl champions shirts

Same thing that happens with unsold newspapers.

Africa?

Donate them to battered women shelters I assume.

You know what happens to the used plastic grocery bags people put in the recycle bin at the entrance of stores? Directly to the dumpster.

Dammit, next you will say there is no Santa.

That's my big enviro contribution.

You ever been to a doctors. Office, surely they get a discount

When I worked at a electronics store that sold magazines we tore off the cover of the old magazines and sent them back. The publisher of the magazines credited us back when we did this. We either threw away or gave away to the associates the rest of the magazine.

Most grocery stores have a cardboard compactor and a plastics bin. All plastic coverings AND the returned plastics bags are put into the bin. A return truck takes the wooden pallets, old displays, compacted cardboard and the plastics bin to the distribution warehouse for recycling.
