Recycling is used for a container or centre that accepts waste for recycling, and donations of used goods. This tag should not be used if the waste is not recycled!
Recycling type
To further refine the type of recycling use, we should add the recycling_type=* key.
- recycling_type=container: a recycling container.
- recycling_type=container + location=underground for an underfloor-container
- recycling_type=centre: a recycling centre. Centres are dedicated areas for collecting a wider range of recyclable household materials. Often they are operated by one or more people in a dedicated role.
Materials
You can further describe the materials you're able to recycle or donate. Please expand this list. If there is at least one of the following materials tagged, the default value for the rest is no. For example, if a feature is tagged amenity=recycling+recycling:glass_bottles=yes then recycling:aluminium=no is implied.
