where can I take some old insulation that was left over and is no good any more. I can’t seem to find any place to take it to. I live in a small town in northeast Texas.

Recycling for the purpose of “green” is well and good, and I fully agree with the concept.
However; It is impossible to find a place within a reasonable travel distance that will “accept” recycle items, such as plastic, glass or tires, even paper, without charging you a fee for taking it off your hands.
Charging a fee to accept recyclable items actually defeats any attempt to “go for green,” because the average person will opt to merely mix their items in with standard garbage that will be taken to the landfill, instead of going through the hassle of separating.
In addition, the “recycler” is actually double-dipping, because the items that they receive are actually “reprocessed” and used for manufactur of new merchandise which is sold to the consumer. They get paid to take it off your hands, then they get paid again when they resale it. Duh!
Buy new tires, the place charges you a disposal fee, collect a bunch of old tires, then sell them for an additional profit to a place that makes “something” out of the old rubber after the metal is stripped from them. In additiion that recycler takes the stripped metal taken from the tires and recycles the metal.
That sounds like triple dip to me.
