It doesn't have to be like that. In my hometown in Switzerland, Basel is a garbage incinerator since the 1930th. It is close to the Border with France on the Westside of town, where the prevailing winds are coming from. It is also burning the garbage in boilers to create very hot water under pressure close to 200C and this is connected to the Central Heating for Basel. Yes in the early days, it was dirty. But now it is absolutely clean, there are scrubbers and filters installed. The material out of the filters is highly toxic and is encased in concrete and deposited in special dumps.
It burns now the garbage for close to 5 Million people out of 3 Countries Regional, Switzerland, France and Germany. Most of the inner city of Basel is connected to the central; heating system and is not burning fossil fuels anymore.
The Region is densely populated and there would be no room for garbage dumps.
This is a clean and efficient solution and it should be copied all around the World.

That's really not fair for everybody, especially them. Hope the problem gets resolved soon 🙏

Reducing the consumption at first is the key to stop all kind of pollutions.

Yeah, I personally hate incinerators as well but for different reasons. Reuse, Recycle, Compost, and Landfills are the beat ways to deal with our waste. Yes, in that order too lol
