Leave them at places you visit when you run errands, ask first of course. :) There are several threads about this topic. There's a poem you can print out on a label and stick on the cover. Tons of other ideas. Go to search, then type in old catalogs, and see what comes up. :)
 
I give them out at fairs and leave them in waiting rooms, etc.
 
I keep a couple around for my bridal showers....I use the pictures for my bridal board with the wish list. Most of my old catalogs get used up in a booth tho. A few of them I "scatter" around as suggested above.
