You should just ask in the shops - normally they are looking for ways to get rid of them.

One of my old flatmates was manager of an M&S store and as a consequence I could fill a couple of boxes. But their hangers are good (if you like that kind of thing).

Really? I didn't know that. I'm just afraid that they'll say no and I'll be embarrassed.

Try it in a shop you don't like very much first then. You'll not mind so much if they say no and ban you for life. Bwa-ha-ha.

Seriously, I think for most shops they are just a pain, because all the new stock comes in already on hangers.

And even M&S shouldn't mind, because it's the best kind of recycling - using the thing for what it was meant to be.

I wish I could recycle the wire hangers from my dry cleaners. I don't use them in my closets, so end up putting them in the recycles bin, but I'd rather just take them back.
