I don't know how many magazine y'all get, but if your apartment doesn't have recycling, you could take them to or school and recycle them there - just toss 'em in your backpack. Another option would be to not subscribe to them, or try to get digital-only subscriptions. As to junk mail, you should sign up for the lists given here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/prescreen.shtm (for junk mail and credit card offers) You can also talk to your apartment complex's management about getting some recycling bins. I'm kind of surprised you don't have them. I solve part of the plastic bag and water bottle problem by bringing my own bags and water bottle. http://www.reusablebags.com has a bunch of both items.
