So, to those of you who own either shonen jump, shojo beat, or that new one (Yen press I believe), what do you do with your magazines when your done? I don't mean like lend them to your friends. I mean like do you keep them or throw them away.
I ask because I have quite a large stack under my desk and I'm not sure what to do with them. I don't want to throw them out but I don't know where to store them, either. |

First of all I am a packrat. I have been collecting every issue of Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, and (recently) Yen Plus as each has appeared on magazine racks. I also understand how finding space for all of them can be difficult.
I really have no intentions of ever throwing them away. I ended up purchasing two walmart 5-shelved bookcases just to have some place to put all those issues. |

I have to agree with dalbkino. People who collect will store/shelve them. People who intend to purchase the vol format of the title they love once it's release are apt to toss or lend them out. I was once a Shojo Beat subscriber (no longer). While I kept some of the magazines because I loved a chapter that would never be released (i.e. the Hana Kimi chapter), most of the magazines were gifted out to friends. I never expected them back nor did I want them. After all I was going to buy the vols of my favorite works upon release.

I have a pile of them in my house and another pile at my parents house too, I believe (from when I was at university and shared a subscription with my roommate, and so I only have half of the magazines from then).
Probably one day I will recycle them, but I still have all my old YM magazines from when I subscribed to it so maybe not. I'd have to go through and see if there was anything worth keeping (for Shojo Beat, it wouldn't be the manga because I buy the series I like best in collected volumes as well as through the magazine). |

I own every issue of Shonen Jump and Yen Plus. They sit in a corner of my room, about waist high, and the rest on a bookshelf.

I stopped subscribing to Jump a while ago because of the lack of storage space and started collecting the graphic novels instead, but the issues I do have are stored in plastic bins, just like my dad does with his old comics that he doesn't read anymore. I do not plan on keeping them when I move out, though, since they're harder to store than graphic novels and will probably wind up selling them, giving them away, or recycling them.
