Very interesting link, and not something I had ever considered.
However surely if we lob anything towards the sun, it doesn't really matter if it goes straight there or if it takes a really really long tome to arrive. *disclaimer* - launching nuclear waste into the sun is anyway a really bad idea!! But - if theoretically we ever wanted to, maybe we could find a trajectory that doesn't need a very big delta-v to enter where the waste would just loop around the solar system for a few centuries before eventually spiraling into the sun
