[Wall-E] Whats the point of the Wall-A units making the trash into cubes if they're just going to eject it into space 5 seconds later?

Seems like a needlessly complex system when just shoveling it out the airlock would work; if you don't care about polluting space. Also if the Axiom has been consistently ejecting trash for hundreds of years; how are there any resources left onboard the ship?

"Needlessly complex" is BnL's whole gimmick. They designed the autopilot to physically push buttons on the bridge. He could have just been a program on the ship's computer, but they made him a separate robot because of reasons.

I always assumed they had Star Trek style replicators. Though unlike Trek, they don't have the technology to break objects down again. That mini-nebula the Axiom is parked next to is probably their source of raw materials.
