By that argument, nobody better live in dense urban cities, because there, almost 100% of the waste has to be trucked long distances to find somewhere it can actually be buried.
Trash service -- whether paid directly (as in the suburbs) or rolled into taxes (as in the city) -- frequently isn't cheap. It's usually somewhere around $50/month, for basic, once-a-week pickup of a large rolling can that holds 2-3 'contractor'/32 gallon bags of trash.' Trash collection employees also make pretty decent money, for manual labor (as they should.)

Sorry, no: trash from any American city is trucked a relatively short distance to a nearby landfill. It might be a county or two away (i.e., not exactly next door), but it certainly isn't half a continent away.
