    I prefer the wooden coat hangers and got my last lot from our local Red Cross shop..........they'd had some donated and aren't allowed to use them so I just gave a donation.
    I remember after my Dad died we had a job to get rid of all his coathangers.
    Maybe a second hand/house clearance shop might have some ?

    I work at Primark and we always give our hangers away.The majority only get thrown away.

    There is someone on myskip giving away:

    BAG OF COATHANGERS
    I Have a large sack of mixed coathangers looking for a new home

    But they are in London, so I guess unless you go to London on a regular basis it maybe a bit of a trip for some hangers !!, I got some nice wooden ones in Matalan the other dat £3 for 6 I think

    As previous poster said - try Freecycle. I put a wanted post on there for coathangers and got a huge bin liner full the same day! They were destined for the tip so the person was only too happy for me to collect them from her!

    Freecycle i agree or look out for a shop that is closing down and ask them they have no use for them so why not?

    Also next time your in any shop ask them... you don't get if you dont ask!!!
