Just to be a bore, be aware that linseed soaked rags can pose a fire hazard.  The wet oil oxidizes in an exothermic reaction.  Dunno if that's the same for Truoil but I used to have be very careful with the clothes I used to treat my gun stocks. 

Yes - that is correct.  Like a lot of finishes, the rags need to be laid out to fully dry in a well ventilated area to avoid the possibility of spontaneous combustion.

Yes Lownote, I’ve read the same alert about oils. I usually leave my oily Tru oil rag on the garage concrete floor to dry out before chucking.

So taking them straight out to our communal bin, after use, is a a no-no?

Just let them dry first - doesn't take long.  Main thing is not to scrunch them up, trapping concentrated flammable gasses while they sre still wet.
