It is less delta-V to launch something out of the solar system than it is to drop it into the sun.

Assuming you're not worried about nuclear waste leaving our solar system and becoming a problem for others, it makes absolutely no sense to launch it into the sun.

That seems a bit optimistic of a problem to have. Space is incredibly huge. For someone to accidentaly bump into it would have odds so huge I don't even know how to aproximate it.
