Is fibreglass batting insulation considered to be hazardous waste? I
replaced a few feet of it in my attic and put the old stuff in my
regular trash barrel... and the trash crew didn't take it. They emptied
out the stuff in the top half of the barrel, but they left the
insulation below it. Some googling finds people talking about having to
treat the disposal of old loose blow-in insulation with care, but not
much is said about fibreglass batting. Do I have to treat it specially?

Trash men won't pick up construction debris.
That's why they left that stuff.

Fiberglass is just that glass.
The fibers can be irritating, and you don't want to get them in your
eyes or lungs. I think they'll send it to the landfill.

The trash people probably want you to call and arrange a pick up and
pay a fee. If you have enough stuff, Bagster is pretty cool.
