I've found the best thing to help us with the piles of paper that stack up.

I bought a colorful metal tub and put it by the door we use most of the time...near our kitchen door that leads to the garage. In this metal tub I toss all paper.

Newspaper, junk mail, magazines when I'm done. Anything that is paper goes into this bin. When its recycling day for paper, I toss it in the recycler and out it goes. Before I did this I found I would have stacks of paper everywhere because I didn't want to put the paper into trashcan nor did I want to step outside to put it into our recycler.

This saves steps and encourages me to sort the mail and toss as I come in the door. Makes it easier to manage the junk mail!

Great idea! At our old house, we had recycling and the company provided a large plastic tub. I kept it near the door and did the same as you, all paper got tossed in there. Sadly, our current neighborhood doesn't have recycling.
