Sure it is. What the heck do you think most archeologists dig up? Ancient trash, that's what. They don't all get the gold out of King Tut's tomb - which I suppose was arguably just another way of throwing away trash, anyway :-)

Though I agree with the general point about trash volumes. I see my neighbors putting out a wheelie bin or two every week, while I average about half a small trash can every two weeks - and I pay the same as they do :-(
