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.

Because then they’d have a pyre of burning trash belching toxic gasses and soot in addition to an active volcano.
Volcanoes are also not giant pipes full of pools of lava, at least not for the most part. You’d need to find an ERUPTING volcano, lift millions of tons of trash into it somehow, and then watching as it was like an incineration facility, but without the electricity generation, and a 1000000x the pollution.
Burning something doesn’t make it go away, it just turns it into cancer and spreads it around.
