I assume you're referring only to garbage, since all other substances produce a lot more crap than steam when they degrade.
Why not just let garbage rot (i.e. compost)? Why worry about actively recycling that which will fade away on its own?

It "solves" sorting logistical issues nicely and any actually worthwhile recyclables can be removed still. Granted care must still be taken for handling emissions and it is more a "supplemental generation for disposing" than any significant generation. I wonder if I am missing anything about it aside from "landfills may be cheaper".
