5 ways to reuse dryer lint
If you're like me, you have a receptacle next to your dryer for lint and wadded up paper left in pockets that go through the spin cycle. Rather than send it to the landfill, here are five fabulous ways to reuse that gray, fibrous mass.
- Fire starter. Use wads of lint to start a fire in a wood burning fireplace or to help along campfires.
- Toy stuffing. Use lint to stuff home sewn toys but be cautious as it is extremely flammable (see #1).
- Share with wildlife. Fill a netted bag (the kind that holds oranges or onions) with lint and hang from a nearby tree in order to encourage local birds to gather bits for their nests.
- Compost. If your clothes are primarily made of cotton or other natural fibers such as hemp or silk, the lint can make a great addition to your compost pile.
- Textiles. Spin it into yarn and knit some mittens.
