I only get bad papers for review

When I first started to review papers I felt excited because I thought I could learn a lot from it. However, although I review for somewhat respected journals (impact factor 3-ish which is okay in my field), I seem to only get the lowest quality papers for review. I don't think I'm overly critical. I find reviewing the manuscripts very tiring and I don't learn anything from them. In addition, the English is usually very bad (I'm not a native speaker myself but it *is* annoying).

Any advice on how to get to review better papers? Most of the papers I get should have never even made it to peer review.

If a paper is very obviously not worth publishing, don't waste your time doing a thorough peer review. It's perfectly fine to just write directly to the editor saying that it should be rejected quickly and outright because it is just not on the "level" expected by a research paper.
