My thinking is that instead of rotting pits of old decaying garbage (which we always eventually grown baseball fields over.) Why not send it up a converyor belt and drop it into some magma where it can burn off.

That would be a grand idea. However most volcanoes aren't just open pits of lava like you see in the movies. And also the pollution level would rise. It was a good idea though.

One of the problems with municipal trash incinerators is the
gasses released into the atmosphere...
We are trying to reduce atmospheric pollution...
Granted a volcano would make a great incinerator if you
could overcome the logistics problems....

No too many problems but to tap the volcanoes to produce steam to drive turbines and supply our electricity.
Keep thinking

You'd get more noxious fumes soon that way.
What you're looking for is a "subduction zone."

Material from the surface of the earth is pushed downward. It'd be gone for a long long time.

Sir, you are a genious, that is a great idea, however, there aren't that many volcanos.
