Are Dryer Sheets Recyclable?

Traditional dryer sheets are a single-use item usually made of thin polyester that’s been covered in chemicals that smell good, soften your clothes and eliminate static. But what should be done with them after that one use? 

During the clothes-drying process, the chemicals melt and the compounds get transferred onto the fabrics being dried.

According to livegreen.recyclebank.com, unfortunately, the wispy polyester isn’t recyclable.  The materials making up dryer sheets are not recyclable making them a trash item.
