Short answer: Unless the garbage is burned, there is little-to-no effect on the ozone layer.
Burning organic matter can release chloromethane. About 15% of the chlorine-containing gases in the "ozone layer" are chloromethane, from both natural and Man-caused (burning garbage, burning forests) sources. This chloromethane is estimated to cause about 17% of the chlorine-caused ozone depletion.
Littering contributes to air and water pollution, which can indirectly affect the ozone layer through the release of harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases. However, the primary impact of littering on the ozone layer comes from the production and disposal of items like aerosol cans and certain plastics, which release ozone-depleting substances when they break down in the environment. Proper waste management and recycling can help reduce these negative effects on the ozone layer.
The two are not connected, but littering is still bad for the environment.
Littering damages the connection and the ozone layer gets over flown with litter than tsunamis and earthquakes come.
Landfills often release a gas, methane, which is a greenhouse gas. It has little to do with the ozone layer.
Litter does cause air pollution. It does cause depletion of the layer of ozone.

Who is responsible for the damage of the ozone layer?
Human activities are primarily responsible for the damage to the ozone layer. The release of chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons into the atmosphere has led to ozone depletion. These chemicals break down the ozone molecules and contribute to the thinning of the ozone layer.
What is the role of tropospheric ozone?
it messes with our health. The good ozone is in the stratosphere
Why is the ozone layer named the ozone layer?
Ozone layer contains ozone in it. Therefore, it is named so.
What planet includes a layer of ozone?
Earth has a layer of ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
What planet has a protective ozone layer?
Earth and Venus have a protective ozone layer. These planets have ozone molecules in ozone layer.

What are you doing to cause pollution affecting the ozone layer?
We are doing many things. We are littering and continuously using CFC's.
Does littering deplete the ozone layer?
No. However the same monkey thoughtlessness that permits / allows littering as an acceptable behavior, allows dumping gases in our atmosphere that we already know damage ozone in much the same way. Out of sight may be out of mind for the selfish, but not the mind of Nature.

What is the name for the ozone layer in Tagalog?
The ozone layer in Tagalog is called "tunog ozone."
What is India doing to solve the ozone layer problem?
they are doing basiclly the same as everyone else is, saving electricity, no littering, less polluting, walking to near by places...so on. but believe it or not making curry's minimises the green house gasses. hence helping the ozone layer problems.
What is the formed of ozone layer?
Ozone layer is formed of ozone. It is a gas.
What planet includes a layer of ozone?
Earth has a layer of ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
What do you call damage to the ozone layer?
damage to ozone layer is called ozone depletion. It is thinning of ozone layer.
What are the layer of gases that surround the ozone layer?
The layer of gases that surround the atmosphere is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
What is the ozone layer and how are humans altering it?
Ozone layer is the layer of ozone. Humans are altering it by CFC's.
