    A proposal for a new high level tag of .. Rubbish :-)

    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features_key%3Drubbish

    At present there as a number of 'waste' values under the amenity key.



sorry for commenting a bit late on this.

If I saw a tag like

rubbish=transfer_station

I would maybe expect a broken transfer station or something similar.


A key should somehow describe what is tagged, i.e. which property, or what kind of object, but if I understand your proposal right, you want to tag an ashtray with rubbish=cigarettes, and with rubbish=transfer_station a facility? IMHO this is mixing up concepts.

Using "rubbish" as an attribute and have a scheme such as (just an example):

amenity=generic_waste_disposal

and add then
rubbish=cigarettes (i.e. ashtray)

rubbish=oil (a place to put old oil)

etc., i.e. using this as an attribute.


This is also introducing the problem, that you will have to know whether your used materials/trash will get recycled or otherwise "brought away" (incinerated or buried etc.).

cheers,
Martin

Moved on while you weren't looking. .. see
[Tagging] Waste_collection - a new Feature Proposal - RFC

though it has no page as yet..

waste-collection= .. is a fair description for most waste/rubbish points that are mapped and also covers recycling .. as it is waste and is usually collected for the mapped point.
