I don't recall my dwarfs dropping hazardous waste into magma.

Especially nuclear or medical waste. Unless Toady implemented fission driven steam engines of some kind and I just happened to miss that update.

No but who knows what might happen when you stick that dwarven waste into a active magma channel?   Also its sertainly easy to make such things...nuclear and medical waste of coarse...and putting it in a volcano or say your neighbors basement isnt a good way to dispose of it...

Goblin clothes and leather armor are not exactly hazardous waste.

Dumping enough pitchblende in a volcanic vent can make it go nuclear? Where did i leave that exacavation truck?
