Cleaning out your clothes dryer's lint trap after each load can leave you with a linty freshness—or at least improve air circulation in your clothes dryer. That, in turn, could help your laundry dry faster and
make your clothes dryer more energy efficient. Need even more motivation? Lint is highly flammable, and its heavy buildup can contribute to clothes dryer fires.
Disposing of your clothes dryer lint doesn't have to be boring, either. Zany ways to recycle it abound online, including spinning it into yarn, using it to start campfires, or giving it to the birds. Dryer lint may even be compostable in your area. But just throw it away if you don't have such good lintentions.
