Lava is hotter than fire. More instant evaporation when chucking old nappies in to 3000 degree molten rock.

Yeah, but you still get the same result - toxic gas. Soot. Smoke.

I mean, not being harsh but it's cheaper just to the the trash and throw some gasoline on it then trucking it all the way to a volcano. It is just as filthy.

You find me a trucker who will drive to La Palma.

Doubtful then that volcano might accepts lousy people Michael Moore, Al Sharpton, Barbra Streisand or Senn Penn as human sacrifice, they would give them some digestive disorders, lol.

It's not a sacrifice if you're offering people you want gone.
Trust me, Justin Bibbles and Miley Cyrus are both on my short list, but a sacrifice involves giving up something you DON'T want to lose.

If the volcano is still hungry after we toss a few celebrities into it we can just try tossing more in until the eruption ends or until we're all dead.

The heat incinerates stuff quicker. It's different than it burning.

If you burn stuff in a pile, you have ash left over. Throw it all in a volcano and it tidies up after itself. all the crap, plastic, left-overs get swept away in a river of lava and turned in to rock, or at least become part of it. Much better than chucking it in a big hole and throwing mud on top.

Either way a volcano being used to dump trash will just vaporize and be even more toxic that just regular burning. Vaporizing plastics etc. in high heat is far worse for the environment than a hole in the ground - or even regular burning.

A study conducted on a limited nuclear strike against several large cities actually revealed that beyond the immediate damage of a nuclear destroyed city, that the firestorms that follow would release many times the energy of the nuclear warhead and the solution of the plastics and petrochemical products in a large city was so gigantic that the detonation alone of NYC would cause such an incredible vaporization of plastics and petrochemical products that it defied belief.

It would seem on the surface dumping into a volcano would result in a large volume of the waste going into the lava and ergo be solidified, but this would only happen with metals; and it is the other chemicals and hydrocarbons in products that would be entirely vaporized and cause far more pollution than can be envisioned.

If the world burned it's waste or dumped it into a volcano, the air of Earth would become hostile to life very quickly.

Is that a vent opening way down the hill?

I think so.

Must be a fair amount of pressure under there if the island keeps getting holes in it, or is the surface just that unstable?

...and now it looks like the lava from one of the other vents has gone into the potential new one? Kinky.
