No. Modern TVs and some other devices do draw power even when turned off, but generally not as much as when they're on (and never more than when they're on). One caveat: some devices draw significantly more power when starting up than they use in normal operation, and for such a device shutting it off for a fairly short period of time may save less power than will be used when it's turned back on. Old TVs did sometimes fall into this category.

Why is incineration a better option than burning of wastes?

Incineration is a better option than burning of wastes because it is a controlled process that burns waste at high temperatures, reducing the volume of waste and minimizing air pollution.
