No, but the most pressing problem is still the carbon emissions, especially in a situation where the waste goes into a capped landfill like the above, as opposed to if it were in a country with uncovered landfills or high levels of material being "lost" to nature on the way to a landfill.

If it's the old pvc based stuff then it should sink, looking a lot like a jellyfish as it does. So it probably wouldn't been eaten a few times by now. Unless it went to a properly capped landfill, which was probably fairly common in 1996 in the US, in which case it's still there and maybe still usable.
