The waste water dumps also travels at 2000mph, so it just floats in space with them until it flies off in its jettisoned direction.

But they are on a return trajectory because of the moon's gravity. So I guess the wastewater will come back towards earth?

If the waste water has not entered the lunar gravity, then i imagine itll return to earth after a while. Keep an eye out for raining turds for the next 50 years or so
