We have bags of old fibreglass insulation and shattered plastic storage boxes from our loft clear-out. How do UK residents safely get rid of this itchy, bulky waste?
I did my loft last year and learned the hard way that dustbins and tips reject fibreglass because it irritates skin and lungs. Many UK council sites limit loose insulation per visit, so car trips take forever. I found a professional waste team that wears full protective gear and vacuums or bags all the loose material securely. They also take broken plastics for British recycling plants. Their price covered the whole load including heavy boxes. You really want to avoid handling itchy fibres yourself. For a reliable collection across Britain, get a quote from https://affordablewastemanagement.co.uk/ – they turned up with a sealed van, did all the dirty work, and left my loft completely empty.
