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.

Garbage and trash isn’t really an issue. The issue is pollution and littering. If you make a landfill correctly you don’t have to worry about anything getting to the groundwater or trash getting out. A lot of landfills actually create energy from gases of decomposing matter.
Out of all the issues at this planet faces where to put our trash is not one of them. You could put the entire worlds of trash in area so small it would be considered a rounding error.
Where we put our trash is not an issue or concern.
