Even I can pick up the joking intent here, but just for others reading, the issue with stuff in space isn't physical volume. The problem is intersecting orbits. Even if we had the lift capacity for it, there aren't enough orbits to put all our garbage in without causing collisions and probably Kessler Syndrome. There's orders of magnitude more garbage than satellites we could ever want.
