Proposal
Proposed is the new tag deposit_ring=yes, which indicates if there is a deposit ring on a waste basket.
The elements affected are these, which represents waste baskets, mostly points.
Rationale
In Germany there is a deposit system, which comprises many types of bottles. These bottles should be brought back to a shop which sells that type of bottles where the shop has to pay out the deposit paid for that bottle. Some people do not bring bottles back to a shop. Often these bottles are thrown into waste baskets. Other people, so called „Flaschensammler“ (bottle collectors) search for thrown away bottles in waste baskets. Mostly poor people earn some money by bringing bottles thrown away from other people to the shops. To improved that people living conditions by make deposit bottles easy available to bottle collectors, many German municipalities began to equip waste baskets (mostly at central points like town centers or big public transport stations) with so called „Pfandringen“ (deposit rings). According to the German version of Wikipedia, there were 110 German municipalities that used deposit rings in October 2021.
