Seattle City Light in November became the first major utility in the U.S. to cut its net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to zero through a strategy of conservation, renewable energy purchases, and an innovative greenhouse gas mitigation program. “We have a fundamental belief that we can power the city without toasting the planet,” Mayor Nickels said in announcing the accomplishment. City Light’s GHG emissions reductions since 2000 represent the equivalent of taking 140,000 cars off the road.

Sending it into space is way to expensive. We will probably start to just pile it higher. The next ride at Disney will be " Space Mountain of garbage".

Pile it higher or burn it to generate electricity. Or open new landfills.

Check out the Penn & Teller Bullsh*t series....you can rent them on netflix.com (http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70019986&trkid=189530&strkid=68879387_3_0) I'm not sure which episode it is, but it is one on recycling and such. It will briefly answer your question and give you something to think about (or rather, about which to think).

We might be inspired or forced to recycle and compost most of it.
About time.
