trash doesn't disappear, everything has to go somewhere

Sure, but there's a lot of random matter on Earth -- excess trash being an issue is less about space and more about externalities (e.g. toxic chemicals leaching).

Being mindful of how much trash we produce does not necessitate producing less (or more!) -- but merely balancing the pros and cons.
