Perhaps instead of waste they are worried about, it's detection. Instead of broadcasting everywhere and letting all the swarm devouring aliens know where you are, doing a highly focused beam is far less likely to get detected.

Surely any species that manages interstellar travel will have a much easier time growing sentient beings to eat on their own planet(s), rather than going to other solar systems, lifting the people there out of their gravity well into space, and consuming them?
