You’d have a lot less to bury if you burned it first, right?

Burning it would release countless toxins into the air. Too much to effectively filter out, and even if we could, we’d still need a way to safely store toxic particles.
The US military did something like what you’re proposing. It’s called a burn pit. A part of a military base where they just burned all their waste. Several severe chronic illnesses have since been connected to the burn pits, including several forms of cancer.
Even with filtration systems, burning the waste of an entire country, let alone the entire world, would ruin us with pollution.
