Well, it would need some propulsion at least.
The sun and even the other planets have a strong pull. The earths gravitational pull alone is nothing to sneeze at.
Since we are in the realm of science fiction in this thread i suggest establishing a portal to either a planetoid somewhere or even the middle of dead space. Then just eject our refuse into it never to be seen again.
