Dryer Lint

So, maybe an odd question but, if I understand correctly some of y'all compost old cotton clothing. Does anyone throw their dryer lint into the compost bin as well?

I haven't added any yet---and I'm a composting beginner, but according to this link that someone shared a few weeks ago, you definitely can compost it.

It depends on the time of year.  During the spring and fall we do use it for lighting our chiminea.  We just save it in a basket in the garage.  In the summer and winter, it gets tossed into the the compost.

If it has dog hair in it, yes. If it doesn't, we save it for campfire starters.

We save it for camping. We stuff it into egg cartons and it makes a good fire starter.
