1. Most Volcanoes Are Hard to Reach and Rarely the Right Kind
There are around one thousand five hundred active volcanoes in the world, but the vast majority are located far from cities or industrial centers. This makes them extremely difficult and costly to access.
Even if you could reach one, chances are it would not be the right kind. Shield volcanoes, which have calmer eruptions and sometimes contain lava lakes, are rare. Stratovolcanoes are much more common, and they are violent, unpredictable, and dangerous. Using them to dispose of trash would be incredibly risky.
