Answer 1

If you have a semi-trailer full of trash that you want to send to the Moon it would cost about $200M and burn 300 tones of fuel by using the latest rocket technologies. A larger city might end up with a million semi-trailers of trash a year. So from a single city it would cost about $200T That is more money than 50 US federal budgets.
