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?

Composting, unless carefully controlled, causes environmental pollution by microplastics and chemicals like pharmaceuticals.
