It is not advised to have your dryer vent terminate into the garage because of the moisture being introduced into a closed space such as the garage. This will cause excessive humidity in the area and can cause mold growth. In addition, large amounts of lint will be discarded into the garage making it a mess to clean after every use. It is recommended to terminate outside of the home for proper ventilation a 4 inch in diameter duct should be used with a dryer vent cap to exhaust moisture, lint, and hot air produced by the dryer.
