The tag utility=waste is added to a feature to specify that it is part of the infrastructure related to solid waste (aka rubbish, trash, garbage) collecting and transmission towards processing facilities.

Large cities may have installed collection networks for solid waste from building to processing facilities as to get rid of collecting trucks and waste storage in each property.

This value was originally introduced to be used in combination with marker=* but sounds suitable on any feature directly involved in or dedicated to waste collection facilities.
