Clothes hangers
Ideas for reducing, reusing or recycling clothes hangers.
Reduce
- When clothes shopping decline free hangers where possible.
Reuse
Donate unwanted hangers to local art projects, schools, colleges.
Offer them on your local Freecycle (opens in a new window) or freegle (opens in a new window) network.
- Some dry cleaners accept hangers − it is worth checking first with your local dry cleaner.
Recycle
Some supermarkets now accept coat hangers for recycling. Check with your local store first.
- If you are unable to reuse metal coat hangers take them to the household waste recycling centres (HWRC) and put them in the metal skip.
