To directly answer your question, at least in the US, waste removal is something we’ve largely managed to handle this way. For the most part, almost no one burns their trash, or dumps it in rivers/oceans/lakes, or on the street, all of which are common practices historically (and still practice elsewhere, unfortunately). We have rules about how landfills need to be managed, we pay companies to haul it away and dump it (either through property taxes or directly paying a waste company).
Notably, we are not doing this when it comes to CO2, we’re still just dumping it in the common atmosphere even though the costs to everyone will be absurdly high.
