Reduce
When buying new clothing do you need to take the coat hanger?
Recycle
Coat hangers can be recycled at Staffordshire's recycling centres, excluding Wombourne:
- Metal coat hangers - place in the scrap metal recycling skip.
- Plastic coat hangers - if they are all plastic, place in the hard plastic skip, if they have a metal hook place it in the metals recycling skip (the mixed material makes it difficult for the plastic to be recycled, placing in the metal skip allows the metal to be recycled).
- Wooden coathangers - these can be placed in the wooden recycling skip where the wood and metal will be recycled.
