You can always drop them at a local Dry Cleaners and they will recycle them by using them on clothing again. However, there are also lots of things you can do with wire hangers to recycle them at home.
Get ready for the next holiday using your extra hangers. Bend them to make wreaths and then decorate them with seasonally appropriate materials such as Fall leaves, paper Easter eggs or evergreen branches. Or cover your wreath with individually wrapped candies and tie on a small pair of scissors for guest to help themselves. Use hangers to store ornaments and other hanging decorations after the holiday is over.

Guide to Hangers
Hang up and display your clothes with the right clothes hangers
Joan Crawford may have hated wire hangers, but clothes hangers are an important part of taking care of clothing, whether presenting it for sale or storing it for short or long periods. Properly hung, clothes will keep their shape and look fresh, without wrinkles, creases or torn seams.
Hangers also permit you to organize clothes as clothing items. Suits can be hung with suits, dresses with dresses, shirts with shirts, and with the right labeling, a man wearing a size 46 suit and a woman wearing a size 8 dress can comb through a clothier’s selections to find just the outfits they want.
Hangers can be made of wood, metal or plastic and their uses are as follows:
1. Wood hangers to display men’s and women’s suits and topcoats.
2. Plastic hangers provide economical storage and organization for shirts, dresses and pants.
3. Metal hangers include wire hangers found at the cleaner’s, as well as larger hangers for hanging draperies and bedspreads for display or storage.
4. Specialty hangers can include smaller hangers for children’s clothing, as well as satin-lined and padded hangers for lingerie and other delicate garments, and round hangers for bikinis.

Don't knock the look of wooden hangers
Wood hangers are the best at keeping a garment's shape, particularly suits and heavy coats. A good wood hanger can add to a tailored suit's eye appeal.
I recommend: www.everydayhangers.com wood hangers with a natural finish or a walnut finish with either chrome or brass accents. Clothes Hangers offers the same choices in wholesale hangers, along with black, and white finishes.
Hang up your clothes.
Children wear a number of clothing sizes as they grow up; the children's hangers business is as brisk as that in children's clothes themselves, with styles to match the clothes and features like clips and notches to keep the clothes on the hanger and off the floor.
I recommend: www.everydayhangers.com owns the children’s hangers business with wooden and plastic hangers for infant, toddler and children’s clothes. Trio Display and Closet Hanger Factory also deal in wholesale and retail hangers for children’s clothes.
Display your clothes in style with specialty hangers
Not every piece of clothing fits neatly on a standard hanger. Sometimes the hanger has to adapt to the clothes, either with a special shape or with linings to protect and keep fine lingerie in place.
I recommend: www.everydayhangers.com offers both satin hangers for fine garments and fabric-covered wire glam hangers designed to add glitz to fancy dresses while keeping them in place, as well as an assortment of specialty hangers for neckties, swimwear, draperies and bedding. Clothes Hangers offers hangers for ties, belts and scarves, as well as car coat hangers.
Accessorize your hangers
By themselves, quality hangers can add to the eye appeal of quality clothing, but they can also display size information so your customers know what they're buying or your company logo so they can continue to sell your products in your customers' closets.
I recommend: In addition to its bulk hangers sales, www.everydayhangers.com offers round and rectangular size dividers to group clothes by size, as well as wraparound markers and hanger stacker's to keep your empty hangers organized and at the ready.

The Basics of Hangers
Choosing the right hangers for your products is as important as choosing a right suit for you because hangers can enhance your sales and make your store and home look better.
Clothing retailers, clothing consigners, and clothing cleaners all use hangers. Some do not think much about the type of hangers they use; hangers are a very important aspect to the sale. Hangers determine how the clothing hangs and how it looks to the consumer. It is important to choose hangers that will give your items the best look. It is also essential to choose the proper hanger size and style that will keep your clothing on the hanger and off the floor.
Plastic hangers, wire hangers, wooden hangers, Stain hangers, Glam Hangers and specialty set hangers make up the hangers basics. When determining which type of hanger will work best for your business, think about the following:
1. How many different sizes of clothing will need hangers?
2. What is the primary type of clothing that will be on the hangers?
3. What type of rack will hold the hangers?
Action Steps
Use plastic hangers for your retail hangers
Many department stores use plastic hangers for their clothing line. Hard plastic hangers hold their shape more effectively than wire hangers. The hangers do not bend. However, they do break under pressure. Plastic hangers typically have more options than wire hangers. They are available in more styles and sizes. Consider padded hangers for finer materials such as silk.
EveryDayHangers offers durable and strong plastic hangers with under wholesale prices. Please check the link www.everydayhangers.com for our quality and price checking.
wire hangers ideal for space saving
Dry cleaners and consignment stores often prefer wire clothes hangers. The hanging hook on wire hangers is thinner than most of other hangers, metal hangers use less space on a rack so you can fit more items onto it. Dry cleaners often use wire hangers with paper covers over the base triangle of the hanger where they can have their company logo printed.
EveryDayHangers offers types of wire hangers with lowest price Please check the link www.everydayhangers.com
Use set hangers for multiple items
Especially in children's clothing, many sets come with a top and bottom, so for childrens hangers, business needs vary. For hanging these items, whether in retail or wholesale, hangers in sets come in handy. Some hanger sets include a shirt hanger as the primary hanger and a pants hanger attachment that goes over the neck hook of the shirt hanger. Most set hangers are plastic with metal pieces that clip over pants. Other set hangers are a base with multiple hanging clips along the trunk. Many use them for hanging multiple baby items as a set.
