go to a recycling station and throw them away. if you don´t have those stations phone your local authorities and demand them!

Answer 7

We return the hangars to the cleaners with the next load of soiled clothes. They recycle them.

You could also give them to charitys who resell used clothing for use in resale shops.

Answer 8

Your local thrift store may be able to use them. Some dry cleaners also take them back. I've never tried this but if you have a significant number of metal ones you may be able to sell them as scrap metal at a local scrap yard. Another option is offering to give them away on a local Freecycle or similar type group. http://www.freecycle.org
