Absolutely. I take my mags, label removed, down to the local hospital waiting rooms or nursing homes, shelters, abused women's center, etc.

Also most places with an occupational or art therapy can use them for crafts. Around here they also use wallpaper leftovers or sample books, the cardboard backs from notepads, etc. to make journals and other crafts.

oh, this isn't paper, but dont' forget about used printer ink cartridges. office depot and i'm sure others will take your used ink cartridge for recyling and give you a FREE ream of paper!
Not printing coupons at home saves on paper and ink! Staples will give a $3 coupon good on any purchase for every ink cartridge brought in for recycle. Since you can use it on a purchase of $3, it's a "freebie"!
