It's always bugged me to clean the lint out of the dryer catch...I always thought it was sorta wasteful... Like my clothes were wasting away for nothing...But...
I found a use for dryer lint...Finally...
It's compostable...I got a pretty righteous compost pile out back...It's mostly cotton,dye and soap residue so why not? Gonna feed my plants with the stuff...Anyone ever done this or have another use for the stuff? Curious....

It's supposed to be great fire starter. I've never actually tested it, but I carry a plastic bag full in my hunting coat.

It makes an excellent fire-starter (keep it in a baggie). In fact if it builds up in the vent tube it can cause a house fire - best clean them out occasionally.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Good idea, man. I usually just toss it into a can next to the dryer and get rid of when the garbage comes. In the spring, when the birds are gathering nesting materials, I'll put out globs of dog hair and dryer lint....in a basket I hang next to the feeder.
I'll toss it in our compost bin....woooooot!

I never thought I would see a thread concerning dryer lint. Anyway, I trash my lint. Wanna stock up for winter and start buying mine?

Buy or steal some of those miniture paper cups like baby cupcakes are baked in. Stick them full of dryer lint and pour some melted parafin wax in to soak it down. Makes fire starters you would not believe.

You can use it for fly tying dubbing and also make paper out of it.

I'm wondering what a finely screened charge ( say 500 Gr.), in a closed chamber breech ( Schuetzen style breech seated cast ...)
Charged with pure O2,...and lit off by a model airplane engine glow plug might do.
PARTICULARLY,....if we used old panty hose / brassiere based lint.
That stuff would HAVE to be faster than run of the mill blue jeans and sock lint.
Bet we could get alla' 550 FPS outta' a big ole Punkin' ball.
Now,...if we put a drop of good racing fuel into that charge ,......?
I better shut up,....and wait for Liar 24 to complete this rude thesis.
He's a really fart smeller.
