I wouldn't take the waste to the moon. I'd send it toward the Sun. It doesn't have to get there anytime soon. Just get there. Aim it up from the solar system plane so that it doesn't hit Venus or Mercury, but not far enough that it escapes from the sun. Done and done.
And if we ever figure out something constructive to do with all that stuff, go get it again!
