If you draw Venn diagram-esque circles around concentrations of take-away/delivery places in Leeds, we live where three of the circles would overlap. We get thousands of menus through the door and despite being pizza fiends, we only ever even glance at a select few of them - the rest go straight in the recycling bin.
We can’t compost the menus as they tend to be glossy, colour-prints but we prefer to use stuff around the home where possible before just sending it off to be recycled.
Any suggestions?

If they have pictures of the food on them, you could cut out the pictures for your kids to use in their make-believe games.

To reduce the amount of these flooding into your home, place a (NO JUNK MAIL) sign on your letterbox.
If that does not work try (ABSOLUTELY NO JUNK MAIL “This means you”)
I have had a lot of success with the first type of sign. It means my house has much less clutter.
The last thing we need is an enticement to eat more junk food.

I’ve just found another use for these flyers - cleaning up the chunky bits of cat vomit.
We usually use old newspaper (or pages from an old phone book) and grab the chunks with that but if the upchuck is soggy, it just soaks straight through. These menus tend to be glossy and good quality paper so I can use them as a little reasonably water-proof shovel.

Give to a school to have students practice reading and math or for creating a make believe restaurant.

I have a friend who used takeout menus to wallpaper her kitchen. Looked great!
