Subject: burning the insulation off. I have a full barrel of cleaned (i.e., no insulation) that I stripped out of my house when rewireing. I did it by burning it off in my burn barrel when burning trash. I wouldn't do it today as back then burn barrels were legal, they aren't now and the insulation burns with dense, stinky, very black smoke. It is a big fine to be caught just using a burn barrel and even bigger trouble for burning hazardous waste
- insulation is classified as hazardous when burned.
