Doesn't "disregarded unfashionable" need "as" in "disregarded (as) unfashionable" or is it redundant?

19)..Often the objects collected are the cast-offs of society, overtaken by technological advance, used and disposed, outmoded, disregarded unfashionable." Their uselessness becomes their asset.

Yes, I would use "as" there. Or a comma.

Hello, Mike.:-D
May I ask you a question here?
What do you mean by "Or a comma."?

Thank you.

The last item could be "disregarded as unfashionable" or the last word could be a separate item: disregarded, unfashionable.

Thank you, Mike. :-D
I see. But the latter ("disregarded, unfashionable") is unlikely, isn't it?

" [...] overtaken by technological advance, used and disposed, outmoded and disregarded as unfashionable." looks correct to me. Am I wrong?

(Edit) Or probably " [...] overtaken by technological advance, used and disposed, outmoded, disregarded and unfashionable."

I can't tell. That is why I posted two possibilities. The end of the sentence is a list of negative descriptions.

"And" would work. That is a matter of style in this construction.
