sorry for commenting a bit late on this.

If I saw a tag like

rubbish=transfer_station

I would maybe expect a broken transfer station or something similar.


A key should somehow describe what is tagged, i.e. which property, or what
kind of object, but if I understand your proposal right, you want to tag an
ashtray with rubbish=cigarettes, and with rubbish=transfer_station a
facility? IMHO this is mixing up concepts.

Using "rubbish" as an attribute and have a scheme such as (just an example):

amenity=generic_waste_disposal

and add then
rubbish=cigarettes (i.e. ashtray)

rubbish=oil (a place to put old oil)

etc., i.e. using this as an attribute.


This is also introducing the problem, that you will have to know whether
your used materials/trash will get recycled or otherwise "brought away"
(incinerated or buried etc.).

cheers,
Martin
