Theoretically, sure. Practically we've entered science fiction territory here.
Yeah, I figured we did once we started talking about solar sails and space elevators.
Up next is just let the thing hang out in orbit around the sun at 1AU waiting for one of these "near miss" asteroids to come wizzing by so we can "catch" it with a net and let it drag our trash to the inner reaches of the solar system.
