I say we inject it all deep underground. We can also inject all of the toxic water down there as well. The earths core is 11k degrees same as the sun we don't have to go that deep to find a sufficient source to melt it all down and we don't have to worry about the animals.

Hmmm...and when it's burnt, where does the toxins go?
Gases released into the deep earth. Granted the earth core has perpetual gases.

The issue is concentrating CO2 sufficiently to make injection work. That's not currently economically feasible.
Economics trump poorly implemented idealism. It has happened to countries, religions, businesses, and now recycling.
I never considered forcing doctors and scientists worth hundreds of dollars an hour and focused upon bettering our lives to rummage through and clean their garbage was an effective or smart idea.
Recycling is now being economically exposed for what it is - a hidden tax that was placed to increase the bottom line of cities and certain businesses. I've no problem with the idea of recycling things, but the onus needs to be targeted on those creating excess packaging and poorly designed products instead of consumers.
San Francisco doesn't have a choice. They're located on a peninsula, with no room for landfill. The city had automatic recycling back in the earlier parts of the last century; the trash that was picked up by the trash service would all get sorted at a station, and everything recyclable would get sorted out. Now, they have residents doing their own sorting, instead of paying workers to do it.
If they hadn't been recycling for the last 100 years or so, the city would have drowned in its own trash long ago. If SF can pull it off, anyone can.

And you thought recycling gives birth to new products. Wrong. They are shipped to China and who knows what they are doing with them. Nobody is going to sift through what people throw in their recycling bins.
Eventually we'll have the technology to directly extract useful products from our waste dumps. Until then, landfill seems much better than people dumping their garbage at sea. At least it isn't littering up the environment.

im not sure i understand the whole "they are on a peninsula so they have no choice." its not like garbage and recycling gets stored/used locally. san francisco is still sending that recycling somewhere and im sure their garbage sent to landfills are still trucked well outside of the city.

tossing them in the ocean.
so people who recycle are sending their garbage to the ocean vs the rest of the garbage disposed of in landfills.

I would name your idea "geologic renewal."
