I assume this will just burn up on re-entry?

I know NASA ships their garbage back though, so I can only assume there's a good reason for that...

As long as the chuck it the right direction with enough speed, it shouldn't be a risk to ISS.

I think there's less uncertainly in packing garbage into a deorbiting capsule, though.
