Geosync satellites don't really contribute directly to the main debris problem; they are too far out and there are too few of them and when they end their service life they (usually) have enough fuel left to push themselves further out to make room for the next satellite.

The big debris problem is much closer to the earth in the cloud of crap between LEO and MEO.
