The trash is collected and compressed. they are sent to the recylcing chambers were all the stuff that can be recycled are separated from the non-recyclable and biodegradable stuff. these are eventually burned and the burned garbage is dumped at the Semakau island landfill which is 20 min ferry ride from the main island.
Construction/demolition wastes are also dumped at Semakau but most of the time they are used to reclaim the shoreline of the main island and few offshore islands. it is estimated that Pulau Semakau can hold Singapore's garbage until the year 2045.

They send it up in a rocket towards the sun and as the rockets full of trash get closer and closer to the sun it burns the stuff up.

its sent to incinerators like the Senoko plant, where it is burnt and used to power generators. then, the ashes are buried in a landfill on an offshore island somewhere south of Jurong Island

It's disposed of through a combination of recycling, incineration and dumping into landfills.

I think they use it for landfill and reclaimation projects. Like the whole of the Marina area is built on landfill.

Singaporeans eat them all.
This is for your own good according to LKY.
