I see these articles about landfills overflowing and waste being improperly dumped in our oceans. Why can’t we just burn all of the garbage and never have to deal with it again?

Toxic emissions. There are parts of the world where it is done safely. Where i live we have a waste to energy plant creating electricity from burned garbage. Epa restrictions held it up for quite some time but once the hurdles were cleared it went on line. Been working for 30 ish years now. The caveat is that some things cannot be burned (construction debris mostly) and landfills are still necessary.
