Dryer lint

Disposal options

  • Most dryer lint is not compostable and must be thrown in the trash. We cannot accept dryer lint for composting at Green Mountain Compost due to the increased use of synthetic fibers in clothing.
  • If you are certain that you do not have synthetic fibers in your clothing, and you are composting in your backyard, then adding dryer lint to your pile is OK. Do not use dryer sheets if you plan to compost your non-synthetic fibers.
