Test of the support for a new top level tag of Key:rubbish=

Possible change of name from rubbish= to waste_collection= ? Probably a better name reflecting what you see on the ground .. a waste collection point such as a bin.

Do not fixate on the values of this key .. the values shown here are to demonstrate the possibly values, the number of values and are examples ONLY. If this passes then each value would be a separate proposal with separate comment and voting.

Rationale

There are lost of types of rubbish (waste), including recycling .. and it may become difficult to mange them all under other top level tags. Most require a different rendering to identify the feature, and so a higher level tag would aid this. Unfortunately the name waste is already in use, thus it cannot be used here .. so the name 'rubbish' is used. Alternatively change the waste key to, say, waste_type (possible mechanical edit!) and then add the waste top level key. The problem with this is past & present mappers continuing to use the older waste= values... through habit.

For organizational purposes rubbish can be separated by its state; solid or liquid.

Usage=

Covering an assortment of community facilities for the disposal of waste/rubbish.

Present rubbish related conflicts

The presently existing used tags total 7 and are;

amenity=waste_disposal

amenity=waste_basket

These use the sub tag of waste= to specify the type of waste.

amenity=waste_transfer_station

Uses a sub tag to identify the type of waste/s.

The presently in use tags but undocumented tags are;

amenity=dog_bin

amenity=dog_waste_bin

The other tags are;

amenity=dumpstation (abandoned - not in use)

waterway=waste_disposal (depreciated - to amenity=waste_disposal)

Terms

American terms have been used in the tag waste= e.g. 'trash', this has been replace here by the more British 'rubbish'. Another American term is 'dumpster', recommend 'skip' to be used if required.

Containers

Possibly best separate by size (I've used the volume terms commonly used here in Australia.. any British input?)

Large - skip bins - over say 3 m^3 (3,000 liters? )

medium - wheelie bins - 120 liters, 240 liters.. others?

small - bins - 50 liters or less?

Recycling

I've included this as part of the rubbish system.

Possible additional keys

tag rubbish:recycling=yes/no/partial ? or a simple sub tag recycling=yes/no/partial ? Unfortunate the rubbish= keys would still remain for those places where recycling does not take place (so why separate the rubbish? Or where the recycling status is unknown)

Possible Values

What are the possible values for this key, 27 so far? I've includes ones in use, and those documented in OSM. I think each of these will need there own proposals.. if the rubbish key is accepted. So don't worry about these - they are one example only.

Comments

This arises out of the need for more tags for rubbish facilities; the options for these new tag are;

A) More values under the key amenity such as amenity=waste_dump_station?

B) More values under amenity=waste_disposal in the key waste=?

OR

C) New top level key rubbish= with new values under that?
