Without a good answer. Because we also need to accommodate situations where the mapper isn't certain what kind of waste is accepted, and a lack of waste=* tag can imply that. OTOH, many mappers probably don't bother to give an explicit waste=* tag unless the container is explicitly for a particular kind of waste. So I'm undecided on that.

The US and UK have chosen to generalize different specialized terms: rubbish (rubble), trash (wood) and garbage (offal). In the UK it's rubbish, not trash. Unless you're a council operating a waste-collection service, in which case it's refuse. Probably hard to change, though. Especially if carto already renders waste=trash differently from other waste=*. It's not as egregious as tourism=chalet for holiday cottages. :) -- Paul
