Garbage solutions:?

Question

Instead of sending our garbage to landfills would it be feasible

to send it to volcano's or some other fiery object? What would be wrong with that?

Answer 1

The same thing that's wrong with burning it in your backyard.  The smoke would be dangerous to breathe.

Answer 2

I'm liking the Volcano thing........It would create jobs.

The environmentalists would have something new to protest on.......The only other solutions is to toss it into your neighbors yard.

Canada or Mexico.

Decisions, Decisions.

Answer 3

that would  be no different from incinerating it and would release toxic gases into the atmosphere.  Dioxins are produces when plastics are burned and are extremely toxic and don't break down.  Acid rain can also be caused by incinerating garbage.

Answer 4

The logisitcs to running garbage to an active volcano is cost prohibitive, dangerous, and would add polution to the air. Landfills serve a good roll when reclaiming low lands and they produce methane gas that we can use as free green energy.

Answer 5

Hey that's a thought! Unfortunately not only would the transportation costs be out of sight and you never really know when these things are going to go off. Sadly also there are just not enough of these things to handle the problem. You are thinking though. keep at it.
