Yes it gives off carbon-dioxide, just like any other burning, it may also give off other chemicals, it depends what is in the "rubbish"

Answer:

Burning a mixture of organics and petrochemicals(ubbish) gives off a variety of gasses.

The principle gas is carbon dioxide from the actual cobustion - little or no CO is formed as there is lots of air.

The heat from the fjre volatilize some materials such as fatty acids and oils from plant and animal matter.

The heat may break down plastics to release many of the component monomers (styrene, ethylene, propylene)

If air is limited there may also be some soot (carbon particulate).
