If it isn’t composted, it’s recycled, if it’s not recycled it’s burned.

We could learn something from Europe as there is no excuse to let plastic travel to the landfill where inevitably a bunch blows out into the environment
Nearby there is the Brooks garbage incinerator and power plant. Always seemed like a good idea to me so long as the really nasty stuff doesn't exceed reasonable health limits.

You can burn trash directly and capture the energy, or you can compost it in a landfill and indirectly capture the methane.
