Luckily, hangers are one of those items that we don't have to discard on a daily basis. But when it's time to get rid of them, what do we do with them?
Wire hangers can be either recycled as scrap metal or donated to your local dry cleaners, as long as they are in good shape--literally! Unfortunately, many plastic hangers are not always recyclable, so you really can't throw them in with your other plastics. If you've constructed enough fairy wings or mobiles with your children, you can always connect with other people on freecycle.org to see who needs extra plastic hangers in your area. Some plastic hangers do have an identification number (a number inside the recycling symbol) on them so this way you know if your local recycling program will accept them.
Green Heart Global is a sustainable product development and manufacturing company, that has come up with a fantastic solution: 100% recyclable paper clothing hangers and 100% PET Plastic Hangers. Be sure to check out the site at http://www.dittohangers.com/index.php
