Hi, At ODI Leeds<https://odileeds.org/> we’re working with Leeds City Council to create an up-to-date, open dataset of bins and recycling points. Different parts of the council have different datasets about bins and recycling points – e.g the bins around Leeds market are maintained by a different department. Nobody has a full, exhaustive list of all of them, so we’d like to get them all in one place.
We think Open Street Maps would be perfect for this, as it’s ‘open by default’. We’re building them a tool using the API & OAuth so that council workers will be able to quickly add bins (amenity=waste_basket and amenity=recycling) from their phones. We’d also like to add their existing dataset<https://datamillnorth.org/dataset/litter-bin-locations>, which is published under OGLv3, to Open Street Maps. We have buy-in from Leeds City Council but under the import guidelines<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines> we also need community buy-in, and we’d really like some feedback from the OSM community. Here’s a quick map we made<https://mapper.odileeds.org/?10/53.85050/-1.47903/datamill-38356ad9-a184-44c1-a4f0-055ac71356ec;osm-leeds-waste_basket> comparing the Leeds City Council dataset of bins (yellow markers) to the OSM amenity=waste_baskets for Leeds (black markers). We’re aware that there is probably duplicates so we’ll be taking steps to remove those. We’d appreciate any comments or feedback. Cheers, Patrick Lake ODI Leeds [email protected]
