Disposal options
Reuse is the best option for any hanger. Some local organizations that sell used clothing might welcome your hangers. See our reuse options page for a list of such organizations.
Hanger recycling options are limited:
- Wire hangers (including those coated with rubber) are recyclable in the scrap-metal bin, at no fee, at all Drop-Off Centers except Burlington and Hinesburg.
- Wooden hangers may be put in the “clean wood” bunker where available at the Williston location ONLY IF the wood has not been glued, stained or otherwise coated with a finish.
- All other hangers must be disposed of as household trash.
Please do not put any hanger, of any material, in your recycling bin.
