Narrative:

Our tlr [takeoff/landing report] was based on landing on runway 23R at our destination. 23R was notamed closed but disregarded as 23L/5R was open. I did not associate the tlr runway and the NOTAM until reviewing the release for the next flight which was a departure out of the airport. When I verified the tlr runway for departure was the open runway I sensed that I had not made that verification on our previous arrival. Rummaging in the trash I found the old release and discovered that it had in fact used 23R as the planned landing runway at our destination. I don't believe any portion of the flight was conducted unsafely; only that it was planned to a closed runway.notams have become so numerous that it is difficult to give them the attention that is needed to digest all of the information and separate the important information from the non-pertinent. Many of the notams do not apply to a particular flight but they are included in the weather package. It is difficult to thoroughly review each one every flight. It would be a great improvement to safety if the non-pertinent notams were culled out of the weather packages.
