Overabundance of Hangers

I went through that right before we moved in here. I ended up throwing alot of them out. I like the plastic hangers and Im trying to have all them in my closet. I dont like the wire ones. You can donate your plastic ones to me! Hows that?Then I can throw away the remaining wire ones!

I had the same problem a few years back when using a dry cleaning - they didn't take the hangers back. I used a small family laundry and they were very happy to have the hangers back. Some I kept, coz you never know when you need.

We have often donated them to second hand stores, like Goodwill, Salvation Army stores, and the like. Some of them get clothing donations and have no way to display these clothes when they have them for sale. They always seem to appreciate getting hangers. I'm sure that others may have other places to donate them. A use for the metal ones is for welding rods, they are very good for this use.

Well thrift and charity shops might be in need of them if you haven't already donated them to those places. Failing that, plastic ones can be recycled if you have a local collection or a nearby recycling centre?

I would give them away or take them to the salvation army since they usually get so many clothes. Used to when my mother and I had garages sales I would gather up all the old hangers and have them in a box and if people was interested I told them to take what ever they wanted. This was when my husband got his work uniforms and they come on hangers. The uniform place didn't want hangers back, which I found to be wasteful. Now days I don't have extra hangers.

My cleaners have a box to return them. So about once a week, I gathered them up and brought them back. I did keep a few bent ones that they didn't want (they look them over before you give them back) and used them to make wreaths. Just pull into a circle, bundle and tie whatever you want on it. We have extra grapevines here. We also have Balsom and pine trees.

I ususally never have enough~! I don't have much to dry clean so I have to buy them. You being a crafter might want to check out how they tape two of them together and us yarn to cover them. Once they are covered they are almost slip resistant......and you could sell them at one of your craft sales! They are very pretty when they are done too!
