## Resource

Tossing plastic hangers in your recycling bin? Think again. A TikTok refuse worker warns these tough, chunky hangers can jam sorting machines and ruin entire loads — so most places want them in the trash instead. Wooden and thin metal hangers also don’t belong in recycling bins. If they’re still good, donate them to charity shops or dry cleaners. And hey, it’s not just hangers — soft plastics, greasy pizza boxes, receipts, coffee cups, and light bulbs often get recycled wrong. Always double-check with your local council — rules vary by town.
