Clothes hangers

Plastics
Metals

What?

Clothes hangers are generally made of rigid plastic, lightweight metal or a treated wood.

Where?

Broken plastic and metal hangers can be placed in your household recycling bin.

Broken wooden hangers should be placed in the general waste bin as they cannot be composted if treated and often have other materials like added plastic and metal.

General Comment / Tip

If you have excess hangers and don’t need them, they can often be donated to charity shops or given to retailers who will use them again.
