Does it mean more trash in the orbit?

How about space debris falling, threatening everyone?

SpaceX is putting satellites in an orbit low enough that if all the satellites failed today they’d slowly sink and burn up within 5 years. The majority of the satellites (minus the solar panel) are not much bigger than a person (but has a 11 meter solar array). The new gen2s have a 30 meter solar array.
