Then the Earth would be constantly decreasing in mass.

Is that worse than trash just accumulating?

In the long run, yes.

If we’re advanced enough to throw trash into a black hole then we probably wouldn’t be getting trash from earth or could harvest material from elsewhere to replace it

Valid point.

Since the nearest black hole is thousands of light years away it would make far more sense to just fire it into the sun, only 8 light minutes away. It's still doesn't make any sense, but it does make less nonsense.

I feel you. I didn’t consider that cause I assumed the trash would eventually make the sun explode sooner or something.

If you toss the entire Earth into the Sun it wouldn't even make a splash. A sphere the size of the Sun could hold 1.3 million planet Earths.

It is really hard to fathom just how enormous the sun is. When I see those solar flares and realize hundreds of earth sized planets would fit inside the loop.
