It's more nuanced: environmentally landfills literally displace acreage of environment (which in my semi-uneducated opinion is often overstated) and have sporadic local issues e.g. material leaching into ground water. Whereas power generated from incineration of trash displaces CO2 emissions from fossil fuel emissions. '''Do the benefits of incinerating trash for electricity outweigh the costs thereof in comparison with costs of equivalent conventional electricity and costs of burying aforementioned trash?''' Absolute issues (e.g. NOx or CO2 emission) not in the context of opportunity cost are irrelevant to misleading.
