It's hard to go far wrong with a dedicated tag for a feature with:
1) A strong clear definition
2) That features prominently on printed recreation maps, with a

3) Has a large community of mappers behind it.

OK, then lets write up a formal proposal. As I said, I'm not opposed,
just sceptical that it will succeed.

Do you think such a tag will need its own subtags ?  I'm thinking of
things like fee, access to large vehicles, cassette v holding tank, hmm,
what else ?

Do you propose something like -
amenity=dump_station
dump_station=fee

or

amenity=dump_station:fee=yes

Should not the present tags be used?!

fee=   as per http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fee
That avoids a lot of duplication throughout OSM.



Anyway, I'll support any reasonable proposal, we need a promotable
solution.

PS - I suspect we can do better than any f the existing ones you listed
below :-)

http://www.dot.state.mn.us/restareas/pdf/dumpstationslist.pdf

And then the proposal should follow the existing situation.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_disposal

so tag

amenity=waste_disposal   -exists
waste=dump_station - new

--------------------------------------------
That is how I see it .. either;

you stick with the present system i.e.all waste goes under either amenity=waste_basket or amenity=waste_disposal

OR

go with a new top level tag ... waste_collection=*

-----------------------------
To say there is no support for a new top level tag waste_collection=* based on the talk here .. well there are lots of people not saying anything .. possibly they have nothing to add, or just see it as a good idea and may vote later or see it as a lost cause. I too would like to see them speak up - any direction they chose. But so few speak up. a few more vote.
