Sigh ... . OK, its a good solution but before I'd vote for it, I'd like someone to explain a few things to me - Firstly, how is rubbish= a better solution than the slight redefinition of waste= ?? I mean declare waste= to be that higher level key, no longer requiring amenity=waste_disposal. There are already 5K uses, I'd be very surprised if any of those uses would be broken by the redefinition. Secondly, if we approve rubbish=, do we then mark the waste= approach as obsolete, less preferred or whatever ? Having two ways of tagging the same thing is bad IMHO. Thirdly, dare I say this, will someone argue rubbish= indicates that there is rubbish there, on that spot ? preferable to say rubbish_disposal or something similar. I do believe we need a high level key for rubbish, trash, waste whatever Hmm, rubbish_receptacle perhaps ? And definitely not rubbish_receptacle_desk !!
