I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason why we haven’t done this yet. Too expensive? Would launching it into the sun cause the smoke (if there is even smoke in space) to find its way back to Earth, therefore polluting the air?

This is an incredibly stupid question.

    Just drill a hole to the core of the earth and dump it there. And you would just put a restart on all the materials.

      Just dig a hole in a subduction zone and let tectonics reclaim the materials.

      So wait - why don’t we dump our garbage into active volcanoes though? (I’m imagining an assembly line to the fires of Mt. Doom)
