If we could find a way to put intangible things like CE's taste in anime on a tangible space rocket, we should probably be using that technology for cooler things.

What kind of rocket can hold enough trash to make the launch worth happening? Have you seen how huge landfills are?

It's just not feasible with our current technology.

Why not simply dump the trash into an active volcano?
It's a lot more efficient than burning a hundred million gallons of rocket fuel to send up a single dump truck load of trash into space.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

That wouldn't work for the same reason why we don't burn all our trash in a more conventional way. It would produce toxic fumes. Plus consider the logistics of hauling the world's trash to an active volcano.

We dont have the technology to clean up space trash yet.
You sure?

The fact that cars still emit carbon when any number of systems has been designed to cycle the gas astounds me. Imagine buying a new vacuum cleaner every month instead of emptying the damn thing. Sheesh

I don't think all these debries will be good for our space quest.

Also, I don't think that we can do that as a Mature Civilization that don't want war against other Civilization.

maybe once we get sufficient tech, i was thinking of some ai or human controlled robots up there collecting debris. curious if something in our orbit can freely move in there or if it's just stuck in motion

well, you could alter your course to fall out of orbit, assume a different one, or break free of the Earths gravity well.
