but if garbage dumps fail to facilitate decomposition due to the lack of an oxygen rich environment, why wouldn’t the waste managers bore columns to pump in oxygen and good bacteria to compensate ?

You’re thinking along the lines of composting, which is good. The reason you think like this is because waste doesn’t exist. In other words, nature doesn’t acknowledge the human concept of waste. A landfill has different objectives than composting. New landfills are constructed with thick plastic on the bottom and top that is ultimately welded together and only allows for anaerobic decomposition and the drainage of leachate. The plan is to leave the problem for the population to deal with in 7 generations or until seismic activity engulfs our shameful time capsules in a smelly termination of magma.
