    It's cheaper to toss out garbage into the endless void than deorbit it in to the sun. Also more poetic or something. Send it out towards the nearest stars as modern Voyager records.

      It's very poetic to send out trash heaps to randomly slam into unknown star systems centuries to millennia from now with the kinetic energy of a large nuclear bomb.

        Perfect set up to a near-future sci fi movie where the alien invasion is just a retaliatory attack.

        I like to think we could do some close flybys of exoplanets with it. Give some alien astronomers an 'Oumuamua to have headaches over.
