Lisa, you can absolutely use lint in the compost. And yes, it also makes great fire starter.
I wrote about the uses of lint when i ran the LivingSimply topic on Bellaonline!
I have been looking for a used shredder to come along at my thrift stores. I just found a good one for $5. I have been saving all my paper to shred and add to the compost. It's greener than recycling, so I wanted to try that.
I shredded two grocery bags of paper and added them to the compost yesterday - they are perfect! Great to layer those after adding food wastes.
