Are dryer sheets compost-able?

[imforpeace]

I have about 500 dryer sheets left to use. I bought them years ago for pennies. I plan to switch to the dryer ball when they are gone. I only dry my clothes for about 5-10 mins and then hang to completely dry. {no ironing and less dryer use}

I recently discovered that egg cartons can go in the compost pile. Can dryer sheets?

Thanks in advance!

I really am not sure, but if you dried anything that wasn't cotton I would say probably not.

here they are not in Canada. Their considered waste. But if you want to reuse them again u can use them if u sew alot for backings or embroidery.
You can use them to stuff any kind of material if used for fancy pillows.
I se to use them in my toppers years go I had in the kitchen when i ran out of plastic bags.

We've used them in our pile but find they take alittle longer to breakdown then other items. We also put the lint from our dryer in our pile. Cut them up if you want them to break down faster.
