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.

Theres a video of this around. Someone tosses a bag of trash into a volcano and it starts a mini eruption.
As others have said, volcanoes don’t just have an open top full of lava. If you toss something into the lava it’s going to sit on top and burn. If there’s water all of that will almost immediately turn to steam and essentially explode. Now you have hot, burning garbage flying everywhere as well as hot molten rock.
