Yeah I guess what's left of plastics and I guess even nuclear waste could survive a few million years but would a future species be able to identify it as coming from past intelligent life form? plastics would just be a small polymer sediment found in future canyons and nuclear waste could be identified as remnants from the solar system forming super nova, it's not like they're going to find an intact iPhone or a H-bomb, from tectonic plate subduction that buries everything 1000's of feet to the simple material breakdown the planet has a way to hide it's past.
And what you call fossils from a far far less dominant species is very wrong, Dinosaurs ruled this planet for 165 million years, we are talking trillions and trillions of mostly large retiles that lived and died over those years, we have a long way to go and I highly doubt we'll come close.
