The problem is that "waste" as currently defined in the wiki refers to things you want to dispose of that would come out of a home or office, things like table scraps, cans and bottles, paper, discarded packaging materials. My term for this is trash or garbage. These days much of that is recycled, especially in certain environmentally aware communities, but that's far from being the general case. As usual, there are differing definitions for these terms depending on where you live and what you are accustomed to.
If you rewrite the wiki definition of amenity=waste_disposal to include sewage I think you'll invite a lot of extra discussion and run into a dead end with your proposal. Using it with a subkey like waste=sewage might be a better approach but then there needs to be a bunch of other waste=* subkeys for recyclable items, paper items, etc. On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 6:21 AM, Warin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Reading the wiki on key:amenity=waste_disposal > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_disposal > > says .. it is not for 'watery waste disposal' .. yet the key:waste says it > is for 'watery waste disposal'!!!! > > It needs a rewrite into a sensible thing!
