Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with old catalogs?
 
PASS them out!!!Leave them at dentist offices, doctor's offices, any waiting room you can get them into. Ask stores if you can leave a stack in the FREE shelf where people get apartment guides, and other free literature. Place them in laundromats, leave them door to door but remember always to
Place a sticker on them all that says something like this:
PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND TO A CO-WORKER, FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN UPDATED CATALOG PLEASE CALL ME!!
It's cheap advertisement and you don't have to just throw them away.
I also use the pictures in the catalogs to cut out and use for my bridal shows to display pictures of products on cards for guests to pick out from the bride's wish list. I also use cut out pictures for games and for prizes to those who host a show for me as an incentive.

I would do the same as DebbieSAChef, you could also donate a few (if you have kids) to school for projects.
