Or we could wait until the space lift will be done and will prove itself to be reliable enough (yes, the one described by Clarke in Fountains of Paradise - there are some seriously-looking projects about it now), then send the waste into the Sun. (I won't risk putting radioactive waste on a classical rocket.)
