1000 Flowers for the Planet - #228 Recycle Wire Hangers

Wire hangers have been used for a multitude of purposes since they were first invented, including the good old fashioned aerial for the car (no longer required though), often shaped into a map of Australia or something fun. They are made of steel, so if you have a local recycler that takes steel, there’s one avenue. Otherwise, the simplest thing to do is return them to your dry cleaners, which may be very glad to receive them. Check if the nearest charity shop needs them for hanging and displaying clothes. Wire can often come in very handy, so if they’re dreadfully out of shape, cut them into sections to make hooks for cleaning out hair from the drains or hanging bits and pieces in the garage. Check online for more ideas or share ones you have come up with yourself. Every bit of recycling is important.
