why can’t we just put all of earth’s trash on the dark side of the moon?

Specifically the side that does not get exposed to the earth so trash won’t be pulled back.

Because it takes a ridiculous amount of energy to transport one kilogram of anything to outer space. You couldn’t just send a rocket with tons of trash up towards the moon, you’d need hundreds of rockets each year/month to do that. Plus the rockets themselves (and the fuel) weigh an immense amount which you *also* need to get up into space.

Not to mention that reusable rockets aren’t really operational right now
