From Goodwill's FAQs:
Hangers are one of the items that Goodwill does not accept, but we will take clothes on hangers. If possible, please remove all hangers from clothing before donating. It's a good idea to check the store's policy before you show up with your donations.

Where can I dispose of plastic hangers?
To prevent the plastic hangers in your life from going straight to a landfill, donate them to a local thrift store or Goodwill donation center.
