According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharps_waste), sharps waste includes: * Hypodermic needles * Disposable scalpels and blades * Contaminated glass and some plastics Therefore we may need both waste=sharps and waste=syringes as it is most likely not allowed to throw e.g. scalpels into boxes that are only labelled 'syringes'. > Would they be best tagged as a separate node of their own?

I would tag outdoor syringes drop boxes (like https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3712579179_78e4c15daa_b.jpg) on a separate node and indoor ones as an attribute of the toilet, perhaps syringes_bin=yes?
