How can we get rid of trash?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Don't you think that sending our trash into outerspace will cause problems with our atmosphere? It will orbit the earth.

well at least we got it past the ozone layer
Oh my god why did I laugh at that? That was so mean
Then brings another problem... money? Wouldn't this cost of billions upon billions to transport our trash into space?[DOUBLEPOST=1468959982][/DOUBLEPOST]
Good idea! How would you do it?

just build a huge conveyor belt.
Funny.

recycling. It's that simple.
Almost any plastic and metal can be melted down into something usable. Almost anything else can rot into compost of some sort quite quickly.
Apart from that, our main problem is the lack of energy. If humanity gets access to practically infinite energy (such as viable nuclear fusion at large scale), we'd be able to solve a lot of problems by things like atomizing trash to tiny little bits, launching it into the sun, etc etc.

That was my original idea. But, at the same time the energy factor would be huge. Even right now we're running out of ways to produce cheap and reliable energy. Key word cheap and reliable.

as I said, energy is the core of most of humanity's problems. Right now there's a series of experiments going on in germany that aim to devise a way to make hydrogen plasma last 30 minutes instead of 7. That would potentially make Nuclear Fusion viable (considering we're currently getting half-half yield on those 7 minutes.
But then it'll come back in a 1000 years
Humanity wants quick and simple answers. I have no doubt in my mind that this will actually happen and then will haunt on us in the coming years just because we wanted a quick solution.

Lyphiard will eat it up.
how can garbage eat garbage?Lyphiard will eat it up.
Sending it into space has effects people don't exactly realize. First off, small objects like a bag of trash, do not orbit like a satellite. They orbit for half a rotation, we get closer to the sun, then they come back down. Or, we send them far enough and they collect stellar (literally) levels of radiation, eventually fall back down, and give everyone within a mile of where they come down cancer.
