6. Filling for homemade pillows and toys
DIYers can use dryer lint as stuffing for homemade pillows or stuffed animals. Its lightweight and fluffy material makes it an excellent alternative to traditional stuffing. Collect enough lint for your project and ensure it is clean and free of residue. This way, you can recycle lint while creating personalized items for your home or as gifts.
7. Collect dryer lint for composting
Dryer lint can be added to your compost pile as a carbon-rich material. It helps balance nitrogen-rich materials like food scraps and grass clippings. Make sure the lint is primarily made of natural fibers, as synthetic fibers don’t decompose as easily. By composting dryer lint, you contribute to a sustainable cycle of waste reduction and soil enrichment.
