Cells to not store waste products. Substances/chemicals that cell do not want to use or is harmful is taken up by the bloodstream and taken to liver where the process of detoxification occurs. It is then carried to the kidneys and then excreted through rectum and anus.

Because most living organisms have the need to release waste products. The inability to excrete waste might cause toxic effects, inflammation and infection.

Cells engulf and separate chemical compounds to obtain their energy. The energy of the elements that once consisted the said chemical compound are already released and absorbed by the cell. The elements, therefore, lost their usefulness and would be a burden (extra mass means extra energy needed) if the cells carried them around. Also, if the cells did not release the said elements, the said elements will build up and occupy the spaces of the cell. The cell, then, would have its cytoplasm exploded, plasmolysis.

If wastes weren't expelled, they would build up in your body and act as poisons, interrupting bodily functions.

What does nuclear waste do to you?

The nuclear waste gives off radiation. That radiation in large enough doses changes DNA in cells. When the DNA changes sometimes the cells can become cancerous. In even higher doses the cells will die.
