One option would be two sets of Waste 'disposal' buildings. Each would have a 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 setups, but one set just dispoases of garbage (low investment and power demand), the other has a higher investment and power demand, but actually recycles the garbage into Resources.

So you might have the existing Garbage Dump that you just pile garbage into, the other building would be an "Organics re-processing Array" that takes in Solid Waste, uses the bacteria to produce Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Helium-3, and similar Resources. Construction would require Green Goo, metal, and Glass. (You'd need a hydrogen burner to combine the hydrogen and oxygen into water though.)

A 2x2 setup might take in Waste and filter out different metals (Metal, Silicon, Glass, Uranium, and Gold).

The goal would be that as long as you take in power, you can get some of the resources back that make up the waste. Combining this with Solar panels and heliostat towers and you can effectively import garbage, use solar power to crack it, and sell the raw materials (or use them to expand your own base).
