Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. A gas giant capable of sucking up and condensing millions of tons of space debris. So why don't we use it to solve one of the Earth's stinkiest problems? Our trash. What if we decided to send the world's garbage up into space and launch it into Jupiter?
How would we manage to send this much trash into space? And would this help our problem or make everything worse?

Actually, we are not running out of places to bury garbage. Drive from Flagstaff to Barstow and you will see just one part of a desolate and uninhabited land perfect for a garbage dump. We could load it onto trains, and dump it in the vast deserts using current tech. And the Earth overall has plenty of unused land that would easily accomodate a dump. The problem is that no one wants to see their garbage bill go up to haul it out to some uninhabited place. That, and we have those with axes to grind that we are "running out of space." So until humans occupy or farm every conceivable inch of space, the technology of waste disposal won't change. And if we ever get that populated, mankind's war like nature will see to it that we reduce ourselves to the point we won't worry about where our garbage is dumped. We are a... fallen species and imperfect. Our solutions will always be imperfect.

Fascinating, but the idea of trash isn't what limits consumption. It's how much people want something balanced by how much is available. IE Supply-Demand And even if our trash was launched into jupiter, the average person would still have to gather their own, take it out on collection day, etc. You'd still need to clean up your own messes which is another argument against the premise. But it would eliminate all bias towards nuclear power. All waste can go to jupiter, and there's plenty of power for liftoff!

did you take in count the potential toxic, dangerous fumes it will created from the burning process? Some of them will remain in the atmosphere, while others will fall down with the rain and be absorbed by the plants that we eat. Or they can combine with water, creating acidic compounds. Or radioactive materials and you have a radioactive rainfall. even if we dont burn dangerous materials, it can still lead to an increase in air fine particulate mater count.
