We have the same problem. I have a cardboard box in the basement full of junk mail that serves as tinder for starting fires in the wood stove. The box is about a half meter cube and is overflowing. Throughout the winter, I think I got the mountain of paper down to the top of the box once. I'm debating whether to have a large bonfire in the pit out back as the papers tend to make a lot of black smoke and send ash everywhere when not burned in the stove... and it's now against ordinance locally to do so.
Maybe grind it all up and mix with wax to make waterproof fire sticks and sell them at a profit? Hm.
