Generally deflated basket balls can be dumped. Inflated ones will burst when crushed and can cause injury to landfill workers.
Some countries and regions have specific laws dictating what can and cannot go in landfill, such as the UK for example. You can be fined for not obeying and forced into community service if you refuse to pay or repeat offend.
Many countries are also slowly shutting down landfill sites and building incinerators to burn rubbish, since the burning can also generate electricity.
Basket balls are plastic or rubber, which means they will take hundreds or thousands of years to degrade. Why not research into alternative methods for disposing plastic/rubber items? Many places will buy unwanted plastic or rubber because they make good insulators for eco-homes.
