Hi there, Great website idea, look forward to reading through. This is just to let you know that your blog link from your thanks for subscribing page is not working. I went through the main menu, but thought you might like to repair it! Warm Wishes to You Sunday my blog: http://www.scrapbooking-layout-inspiration.blogspot.com/

I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to keep hangers for life. I always keep a few wire hangers around, so we can make a stepping stone for my fil for father's day. As for the plastic one's they might not be good for the environment, but they are sturdy. As for biodegradeable hangers how long will they last and would I have to worry about the hanger breaking down in my closet and on my clothes??? Zig

$60 for hangers?? Even for 25 of them that's a lot. If bamboo is so highly renewable why is it so expensive? It's not like it's rare.

I always have trouble donating hangers, no one takes them! Do you have any suggestions for recycling or reusing old plastic hangers?

I need some new hangers, but I don't have much money! Any ideas, reader?

I suggest that people who dryclean bring their own hangers to the cleaners and reuse like taking your own bags to the grocery stores. I like my plastic hangers. They are sturdy and lasting. The shame would be if I were to replace them and throw them away or recycle them by giving them away and they throw them away. At least in my closet that's where they will stay as long as I live or as long as they last. I don't dry clean because of the cost and chemicals so no hangers from there.

The EcoHangers are really sturdy.. I dry clean with a "green" dry cleaner who uses CO2 process so no harmful chemicals. They switched to these EcoHangers a few months ago and it is much better. No more mess of wire hangers in my closet and the EcoHangers I receive my shirts on - I have reused them for months and they stand up really well. I asked the dry cleaner about them and they actually get them f free because of the advertisers are paying for them. He said they save a few thousand dollars a month on hangers.. plus I get coupons for stuff I actually use.. everyone wins! Final note: I saw EcoHangers at my JC Penney store in place of plastic hanger last week. They had Dockers clothing on them.. looked pretty cool!

Goodwill donation centers always seem happy to get our extra hangers. If you're looking for somewhere to donate, give them a try.

I would only caution you that if you get the corn based ones do not leave them in a hot car! I did this and they melted! Otherwise I love them!

If non-organic cotton is produced by an alarming amount of pesticides and chemicals,maybe it shouldn't go in the compost pile? Otherwise that is an excellent idea.
