NASA has tested a hypervelocity gun which could be scaled to launch nuclear waste material encased in lead ingots. Fire the ingots into a space on a retrograde trajectory and they would slow down in relation to the Earth's orbit They would fall into the Sun and hopefully wouldn't stoke the solar furnace and cause more global warming!

Gun Laying would be necessary to insure we don't hit Venus or Mercury.
