Wine Corks
Local Drop off: TOTAL WINE & MORE 344 Providence Highway
Dedham, MA 781 613-0500
Drop off natural corks (not plastic). Give to a sales associate. They recycle through ReCORK
Mail-in, including plastic corks. A sustainability initiative funded by WidgetCo,Inc to help Forest and Ocean Conservation. They donate to select non-profit entities that clean plastic from oceans and prevent deforestation (2 cents for each natural cork received and they will see that plastic corks are recycled). You may ship as many wine corks as you can, up to 40 lbs. per box. The mailing address is on the Cork Club Home Page. You pay for shipping.
Wire Hangers
Check with your dry cleaners — many accept hangers for reuse. (They may also accept the dry cleaning bags.)
Needham residents with an RTS sticker may bring metal hangers to RTS North Area for Scrap Metal (near electronics recycling).
Plastic hangers: Many thrift stores bundle plastic hangers together and sell them. They can also use donated hangers to hang clothes they sell in their stores. See if your local thrift store is interested in your old plastic hangers.
