Your lint trap only catches some of the lint that comes out of the clothes in your dryer. If your dryer stops getting rid of lint its a sign that the dryer vent is clogged. The dryer vent is usually a 3" pipe that comes off the back of your dryer, and is piped outside. You'll need to take it apart and remove as much lint from the pipe as possible, a vacuum usually helps.
If you aren't confortable with doing it yourself, a duct cleaning company can come out and vacuum the pipe out for you.

First keep your lint trap clean during the drying cycle and don't put in towels with your clothes this is what causes lint on your laundry and make sure you use a delicate cycle or the coolest temperature you have on your dryer this is the only way to fix this problem

wash and dry things that are linty separately. for instance, wash all towels in a load separately, they tend to produce the most lint. heavy sweatshirts, sweaters and stuff like that can also be linty, so wash similar things together. never wash black pants with stuff like that, and try to wash things inside out so if they do get extra lint on them it will be in the inside and not the outside.

lint comes from the degradation of the clothes themselves.
Large amounts of lint indicates aged clothes in need of replacement or overloading of the washing machine.
Note that top loader washers damage clothes more than front loaders. A front loader will result in less than half the lint of a top loader even without overloading the top loader.

The friction of the clothing rubbing at the same time reasons the lint. turn the clothing interior out until now you wash them , then in case you get lint it will be on the interior the outfits, not the outdoors. Lint can type on comparable shade besides as diverse shade outfits, dark lint on gentle outfits would be greater seen, and vice-versa. Use a garments shaver from Wal Mart to get the lint off which you have on your outfits now.

You have to wash your towels separate from your clothes. You can get alot of lint from towels.

Your vent pipe could be dirty and clogged.
I suggest you take a leaf blower, detach the vent pipe from the dryer, stick the blower into the wall pipe but make sure to pack and hold dirty rags around the blower pipe. Turn the blower on for a few minutes.
If that doesn't help, you may need a new dryer.
