I have seen little consideration made to the carbon cycle which produced this result of methane output in landfills.

It doesn't come from nothing. Methane is a compound generally produced by the breaking down of organic compounds in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic decomposition)

Organic compounds generally gain carbon from the atmosphere. So where is the extra carbon entering the system?

Should the focus not be on disposal methods but on ensuring sustainable regeneration of farmland in this case?
