Why can’t Places with Volcanoes, just throw all of their trash in the middle of the volcano to be incinerated?

Really curious as I know part of the problem may be pollution, but if certain parts of trash were burnable and safe, would that be a viable waste disposal option, somehow? Thanks in advance.

You don’t want to anger the volcano goddess.
The volcanos are extremely important to the local native population in Hawaii so for one thing it would be considered very insulting to use them as a giant trash burner.
