I'm afraid this is contentious? See the thread I've started on " Wiki on amenity=waste_disposal Rewrite?"

The longer 'we' wait the more people will see this and make comments.. Think I'll remove it for now .. and wait for developments. Excrement will out in the end :)

OK, I was preparing text for that, I searched for "dump_point" which is
the term used here, nothing. Its something we most certainly need and
could be used as a standalone node or one associated with (eg)
camp_site.

Must make a clear distinction between "waste" and "human waste", many
caravans and motorhomes have chemical toilets and need a very specific
dump station to empty. In most cases, its not acceptable to empty them
into a a normal toilet, the chemicals some people use can devastate a
septic tank.

Warin, I am a bit surprised you have added "dumpstation" to the list
even though its not approved. Is this the way its done ? Or is it OK to
mention dumpstation because it does already have a page ?

I'd  also like to add max_stay and something that indicates pets are
allowed, that should be enough for now. Pets=yes/no/conditional ??

I'll add a link to the (inactive) dumpstation one, think we need have a
go at getting that approved, important. Is the model to reactivate the
existing page ?

Done. Thanks .. I knew there was one out there somewhere. I think
amenity=dump_station needs to be redone, the reasons for its rejection
by some have been outdated by the quoted tags evolving over time making
amenity=dump_station essential.

I like what you've done with this. I would suggest that for waste
disposal, i.e., sewage, consider adding amenity=dump_station to the
list of optional tags. Although Taginfo shows only about 100 instances
of the tag so far (including variations like dump_station=yes/no),
Dump Station, etc.) , this term describing a facility for dumping of
RV holding tanks is very common in the U.S.
