TEHACHAPI, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - Maria Jones expects to get some magazines in the mail, it's just a matter of how many.
Friday, there were three new issues, including "Baby" magazine in the Tehachapi mother's mailbox.
The problem? All her children are grown up.
"I don't read any of this," she said.
This has been happening for three years. Despite never signing up for anything, Jones said she receives up to 25 magazines each month.
She said the post office told her to mark the magazines as "return to sender."
"I'd be at the post office everyday, but then two, three weeks later there'd be more," she said.
It became too much, and she started just throwing them out.
Jones' daughter works at a magazine, and she knows it's more than just the paper that goes to waste.
"To think of all the effort people made to make these magazine," Jones said.

Yea, she should take time out of her daily life, to truck magazines around town. Are you kidding me?!? In America it is perfectly legal to mail your own poop. When you threaten these guys with that, mail stops almost immediatly! This also goes for email spam.  Works like a charm.
You can also donate magazines to the public library where they sell them for 50 cents or so. This helps out the community.
Instead of throwing them away, she could donate them to an assisted living facility or in the case of the Baby Magazine ones, maybe she could take them to a WIC office. Or put them on a bus bench....
