I run my used dryer sheets a couple of times after the initial use to make sure they are "all used up"...am I getting anything more out of them?

Yeah, there are, both used and new.
You can put them anywhere you would want an air freshener. If you stick them in a clothing drawer, you may want to put them in a sachet bag or give them one use in the dryer so they don't rub oily stuff on your clothes. But this is also for wastebaskets etc.
You can also keep them around and use like a cleaning wipe. The papery kind are a lot like handi-wipes. You would have to add your own cleaner...but it would be a nice disposable towel with a little bit of scrubbing power. This is for when most/all of the fab softener is used up. It can be used for a dusting wipe too.
I think there are some times when you can wipe over something with a new fab sheet to protect an item from collecting dust, or to put sheeting action on a piece of glass like a windshield? I'm not sure, look into it...you wouldn't want to damage something with fab softener left on the surface.
The bounce and other fab softener manufacturers probably have other uses for them at their website.

You can use a used dryer sheet anywhere you want a fresh scent in your house, or even your car. Another thing i do with mine is I put the dryer sheet in my vacuum cleaner on the outside of the hepa filter under the filter cover. This way whenever i vacuum my house the air coming out of the vacuum makes my house smell nice like the dryer sheet. You can do this with a new dryer sheet too.

I like to use the dryer sheets under my car front seat. There is just enough scent remaining to freshen the car. I really like the ones that are scented with Gain Detergent. And if you want a good strong scent, pop a new one under the seat. Also, they work nice in the bottom of your trash can between the liner and can, another good place to leave one is in a closet, or under your kitchen sink. They are a great invention!

Yes If you or someone you know has static in their hair, static in hair is mainly a women thing, especially when we try on clothes and in the winter time its pretty bad also, but anyways dryer sheets work great for staticky hair: Just run the sheet through your hair or over your hair brush, it works I promise. Lol some people think its weird but it works...

I doubt it. The heat pretty well zaps the good stuff out the first time, unless you don't use it for long.
Smell and feel the sheet once its used. Thats should tell you something. If the sheet is still rigid and smells good. Use it again.

I use my dryer sheets to dust the ffurniture, put one under the car seat and it freshen up the car. Put them in drawers, places to smell better.

Excellent for wiping down the TV or computer screens to negate the static cling and dust on them

Getting lint off your tv or computer screen -- make sure it is turned off.

There great for paper piecing in quilting. I'm sure they have lots of other uses also.
