They may be advertising copies.  I would just toss them.  The only time I have returned things is when the Post Office has made a mistake and delivered something addressed to someone else.

All,
Lately, my institution has been receiving print issues of journals we don't subscribe to. Does this happen at any of your libraries very often? If so, what do you do with them? My inclination is to just recycle them, but I'm wondering if anyone takes the time to send them back to the publisher instead.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
