How to recycle / dispose clothes hangers (metal and wire)

Metal and wire clothes hangers

We accept metal and wire clothes hangers

• in our curbside trash collections (the hangers will be recycled!)
• at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station's scrap metal recycling drop-off

Do not put metal hangers into your blue recycling bin.

Plastic clothes hangers

We accept plastic clothes hangers

• in our curbside trash collections
• at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station's bulky rigid plastics recycling drop-off

Do not put plastic hangers into your blue recycling bin.

Can my hangers be reused?

Consider offering your hangers for reuse on your neighborhood email list, Buy Nothing, Craigslist, your local Freecycle group, or similar places.

Check with your local dry cleaner to see whether they accept wire hangers--many do!
