  • Put into your black cart

Put dryer lint and dryer sheets into your black cart as garbage.

Why can't this be composted?

Dryer lint and sheets are not accepted in the green cart as they are often made up of synthetic fibres (e.g. polyester) that will not breakdown during the composting process.​​​​​
