Aren't there experimental reactors that can "burn"/use the waste of traditional reactors?

A fast reactor can burn the waste of thermal (traditional) reactor.

One design is the TWR

Still needs long term disposal in the end.

It's better than pumping your waste into the atmosphere for everyone to breathe.

Waaaay less waste is left in the end. Like, small enough to fit in a small room.

Yes. I believe there are secondary and tertierary reactors that can handle the waste.
