LOADING TAG LIST... (If you do not see this tag list, you need to enable JavaScript)
This table is auto-generated. See Template:Taglist for a documentation on it.

For a waste basket that has a built-in, separate box for collecting cigarettes and cigarette ash, it is recommended to use multiple semicolon-separated values for waste=*, where the value for the ashtray is cigarettes then. So use for example waste=cigarettes;trash for a classic bin which is made for the disposal of trash/rubbish and has a built-in ashtray.
