I get that you could not possibly get rid of all of it, but wouldn’t it make sense to send a trash rocket into the abyss?

It would be too expensive to send waste into space regularly like space bin men for a start and with there being around 6 billion tons of plastic waste on the planet, there would be no rocket that could take an impacful amount waste off the planet and be cost effective. You would spend billions and barely scratch the service.
