Coat hangers
Coat hangers are not household packaging and cannot be recycled via recycling bins in the ACT.
Disposal options

- Most dry cleaners will take back their own wire metal hangers for reuse which is preferable to recycling
- Metal coat hangers can be dropped for free at Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre or the Mitchell Resource Management Centre Transfer Stations as the metal can be recovered
- Plastic coat hangers are not household packaging and cannot be recycled in recycling bin
- Place broken hangers in the rubbish bin
Why?
Coat hangers cannot be recycled as they tangle in the recovery facility equipment and damage the machinery.
