No. Burning waste material results in pollutants being introduced into the air and environment which presents an expensive health hazard and can be costly to clean up. Also most waste is not entirely consumed by fire so measures must still be taken to dispose of what is left. Most of what is burned is food leftovers, wood and plants. Instead of becoming ashes, this biological material can be composted to be recycled as useful topsoil material. Metal and plastic waste including containers and electronics can also be recycled and reused.
