It wouldn't be nice if in an human exploration on outer space we find a container full of unknown harmful waste from another civilization. That shouldn't be our first option.

The unshielded fusion reactor which we orbit around is likely to be a bigger problem.

Not to mention the really bad problem if a rocket carrying the waste exploded. You've basically made the problem 10,000x worse.
