Yes.
Every scientific station on the continent is required to remove its rubbish from the continent.
The American stations incinerate the rubbish that is burnable, and remove all other rubbish, including human waste from field camps, by ship and take it back to America for proper disposal.

How does rubbish get to Antarctica?
Antarctica's beaches do not collect garbage, possibly because the sea ice freezes annually which would prevent floating ocean rubbish from reaching the coasts. Any rubbish generated on the continent is generated by occupants of the research stations. What cannot be incinerated on the continent is returned to the country that supports the research station.
Why you should not dump garbage into the ocean?
Dumping rubbish in Antarctica's seas is not a practice that is allowed there. Dumping rubbish in any sea, however, can cause pollution, especially when the rubbish contains materials that will not degrade in water.

Yes. There are some stations where people are staying to collect data such as the McMurdo station. However, there are not big cities or towns.
Is it bad to live in Antarctica?
Some people think that we should not be in Antarctica for any reason. Alternatively, Antarctica is a relatively pristine environment, apart from our human intrusion, where studies of the earth and the atmosphere can be made without the pollution and rubbish scientists would have in cities. As long as everybody adheres to the terms of the Antarctic Treaty, Antarctica should be well looked after, the Military are excluded from military activities and mining is out of the question.
