Thats a very good point Martin, a dump station is not a "waste" but it
is an amenity.

That does differentiate it from much of the the other items listed under
waste=. We tend to use the name for the waste itself in many cases but,
I guess because of its nature, prefer to name the facility rather than
say "excrement", "sh**", whatever.

Quite a good argument for elevating the proposed dump_station to amenity
rather than waste= in my opinion.

Thanks Martin

David


For waste= ... may be waste=black_water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_%28waste%29b

May be waste=rv_black_water if needed to distinguish it from other possible black water sources?
