Even if they're only about 1 metre apart (or less) - there's not really any limit on how close together nodes can be. Just zoom right in, and place the (relative) positions of the nodes as accurately as you can. Or you can just put both tags on the same node (eg amenity=recycling;waste_basket), that should also work. There's no need to use a relation for this.
