Has anyone considered that the byproducts of advanced TL’s can be harmful, and that some systems have that one moon they dump radwaste, toxic chem waste, and the occasional corrupt politician. Que the Space 1999 music.
Q: has any only considered that in some systems there is that one moon that is the dump.

Depends on the cost.
You could dump it in an empty hex.

Or in a Gas Giant.
Would you want it floating into the space lances of traffic? Scene: Teenage driver flashing selfies to her friends on epsilon beta and wham smacks into a canister of low grade radwaste …. Is their AAA in space?
This is how you get Darrian star triggers.

If you get off the highway in the middle of nowhere, you have have bigger problems than a Sargasso Sea of garbage.

They were trying something big doing that, not throwing away old McDonalds happy meal containers.
That’s what they tell you, not the sad industrial waste genesis true story.

Firefly mentioned a Scrap Belt. Might be one orbiting each star.

In the season 2 Joss planned, there was supposed to be a visit to one of the interstellar transports Humanitii used to flee Terra.
Sadly, we have very little of what Joss planned in comments he made.
My vote on this issue would be a cleared flight path to the local primary for disposal
Yep, just yeet it into the sun.
Even better, with grav drives, the usual complaint about the phrase "___________ should be shot into the sun", which is that it costs more Delta-V to get something to impact the sun than to eject it from the solar system entirely, is a moot point.

Yes,
That only works until you get sued by those hovering just outside the solar system observing you.
I remain committed to the belief we will try that...
....and that is how we'll meet the owners of the flying saucers....when they sue us for damaging one of their craft with our garbage rockets!!!

Actually, in systems with the proper tech, you dump anything into the fusion core and it is flash melted down to its component atoms...
LOL, A little old school Ayn Rand Dues Ex Machina....
