I would distinguish between an amenity=waste_* for structures
that are open for everybody to bring their waste, with or without fee,
thus as a POI somebody would navigate to (where can I bring my waste),
and the cabinet=waste merely describing the street inventory
(what is that odd locked box for).

I was going to suggest "Waste Transfer station"
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_transfer_station
But after reading the wiki for it, it was not at all what I expected.
In America, at least in most suburban areas, waste is collected from individual
residences via bins/cans on the street with(enormous) trucks, so there is no
static transfer points whatsoever, it goes from curb to landfill directly.
In Japan, There are static waste collection "Garbage stations" [ゴミ ステーション] per
street or area, and are often large, steel, screened cages that are stuffed full of 45
liter bags. There is no possible way fro a truck to service the myriad of little tiny
buildings, some of them only on walking paths - even in cities of 100K people, so there
is a garbage station for every 20-30 houses or so, or one for a large apartment or
company. Temporary ones are merely nets to keep the crows off the bags, but most are
permanent ones worth mapping.
My local garbage station (2 cabinets) http://goo.gl/maps/VLgMP
a full one nearby http://goo.gl/maps/eqVS3
although some are old and look disused, they are used daily or weekly by the
populace, and mapping them would be useful on a very local level (like the
cabinets in general).
Please add a line item for waste transfer, similar to the postal transfer -
this is a missing step in the garbage collection, and a cabinet that have been
overlooked.
Also, I suggest also adding "sliding" for the door hinge option (as the second
one has no hinges)

I would suggest street_cabinet=garbage for the equipment you've mentioned.
maybe =waste is more consistent with existing tags such as
amenity=waste disposal, amenity=waste basket or
generator:source=waste
Garbage is less used in tags so far.
A cabinet is a feature where workers can't enter.
A building is the opposite.
Then, substations and other stuff can be divided between those two sorts.
That's a very plausible distinction and should be documented.
