The general-interest magazines could be offered to a prison library.
(A cautionary note: If the items have mailing labels bearing your
personal name -- not just the institutional name -- then the labels
should be removed or effaced before donation to the prison. Perhaps
a museum volunteer could help with this.)
Does the Santa Barbara Public Library system hold a book sale?
Even if they don't need the periodicals for their own collection,
they might be able to get rid of them during a sale.
