I took mine back to the cleaners. They were happy to take them! Thank you for the info.

I didn't know wire hangers were that wasteful.

I can't afford dry cleaning and I can't stand wire hangers....

I had no idea!

I am proud to say that I return my unused hangers to my dry-cleaners and they gladly accept them. I am glad that I asked if they would take the hangers, otherwise they take up so much room. Also, I return them in my reusabe dry cleaning bag so there are no other materials needed.
