Short answer: Unless the garbage is burned, there is little-to-no effect on the ozone layer.

Burning organic matter can release chloromethane. About 15% of the chlorine-containing gases in the "ozone layer" are chloromethane, from both natural and Man-caused (burning garbage, burning forests) sources. This chloromethane is estimated to cause about 17% of the chlorine-caused ozone depletion.

Landfills often release a gas, methane, which is a greenhouse gas. It has little to do with the ozone layer.
