I was sure there was a good reason and I did put it back in the dryer, but I hadn't thought about how it would look building up on the lawn. Thanks to all of you for confirming the fire hazard, the neighbors would be quite annoyed with me if I burn down the row of townhouses. I was thinking that maybe the birds could use the lint for their nests. We just had a couple mourning doves move in under the deck within the last few weeks. I know several people on here have posted that they put out fabric and thread scraps for the birds to use.
