If it were just me I would just hang my clothes up. I'll be 37 in March and to tell you the truth, I don't ever rember using a clothes dryer as a kid. Not until we moved to the city when I was 9.
I have 3 kids (15 days out of the month) and I live with my girlfriend and her two kids. So we have laundry everyday. We wash in cold water with special cold water soap. I duct taped the dryer vent (electric dryer, never with a gas dryer) to the inside of a bucket with a few inches clearance, then poured some water in the bottom of the bucket to catch the lint. So I take advantage of the 2KW of heat that comes out of the dryer to help heat my 2,500 sq foot house.
Smells like laundry for a half hour or so, but its better than some of the smells that one experiences in life.
