Space is already full of convenient places to safely and cheaply dispose of dangerous waste, we don't need to spend the huge fuel bills to boost stuff to Venus when almost any place withoutbiological or settlement potential and with enough gravity to hang on to the material will do fine. Besides, should we really put hazardous material in places where, should we change our minds, it cannot be easily recovered? Gentlemen, does this really make sense?
