Stop buying hangers because you can get them for free

Meanwhile, someone else claimed: “For all that’s wondering, Primark do not re-use [hangers] so we are saving the environment whilst getting free hangers.

“Not a bad win-win.”

If you're in need of some hangers, an ex-Primark worker shared what you should.

Georgia Ponton, 20, worked at Primark during the weekends back in July 2017.

For those wanting free hangers, she advised: “If you go up to someone that is working on the till and say ‘Can I have a bag of hangers?’ then they will give it to you.

“So stop buying hangers because you can get them for free.”

She also explained: “Behind every till is a massive bin where we put the hangers for people that don’t want them, and I’m not really sure where they go afterwards, but we need to get rid of them.

“So if you don't have many hangers at home or you’ve moved to uni and you, like, have no hangers because you forgot about them, then just go and ask because you can get them for free.

“Most of the staff will be happy to help you.

“So when I went to uni, I brought no hangers, I completely forgot about them, and I went to the local Primark and was like “Hi, can I have some hangers? Can I have the skirt ones, the trouser ones and just nepal ones?” and they gave it to me.
