I don't know of any place that accepts magazines.  But the recycling center
in College Park (ECO) across from the University of Maryland accepts phone
books.  However, I'm not sure if they accept phone books all the time, or
just at certain times (like when they deliver new ones.)  Your best bet
would be to call them and see if they still take them.

I don't have the number, but if you call campus information (405-1000)
they should have it.

Also periodically Bob Levey lists places that take phone books in his
column in the Washington Post.  He holds a big drive every year to recycle
them.
