It would be great if The Villages would at least provide drop points down here for things like glass and aluminum. (News flash: they don't.)
Burning the stuff IS energy production. It is used for fuel. Waste Management is known for this, at the Waste Management golf tournament, almost 100% of the trash generated by participants and spectators is re-purposed as fuel, which converts to steam energy.
