How amny volcanoes are there in the world?

The exact number of volcanoes is unknown. It also depends on the definition of a "volcano": for instance, there are "volcanic fields" that comprise hundreds of individual eruption centers (such as conder cones, maars, shield volcanoes) that are all relataed to the same magma chamber and that may or not be counted as a single "volcano". There are probably millions of volcanoes that have been active during the whole lifespan of the earth. During the past 10,000 years, there are about 1500 volcanoes on land that are known to have have been active, while the even larger number of submarine volcanoes is unknown. At present, there are about 600 volcanoes that have had known eruptions during recorded history, while about 50-70 volcanoes are active (erupting) each year. At any given time, there is an average of about 20 volcanoes that are erupting.

Is it possible to harness volcanoes as a natural incinerator for landfill waste?

No it is not possible to harness volcanoes in this way. Volcanoes are dangerous to be around due to the fact that it is unknown when they will erupt next. Furthermore, while there are many volcanoes in the world, only a few of them are erupting at any given time. At any given time there are only a handful of lava lakes in the world. Burning waste is rarely a good idea; it releases large amounts of toxic chemicals into the air.
