Trash or Garbage Disposal?

I'm going to revive it with a new question. My mom's town, a few miles over, recently stopped all recycling. My town may be next. If recycling isn't an option, is it better to burn paper and cardboard or send to the landfill? The burning would be done at our camp, not in the suburbs.

I would guess landfill.  Both will release carbon (through rotting or burning) but burning will put particulates into the air.  But I have a woodstove and a petrol car, so I put particulates into the air every day...
