<div dir="ltr">We had a discussion here a few months ago about how best to tag what we call in American English a junkyard. The result was a tag combination that works for those yards that take wrecked automobiles and then sell parts from them. This is a form of recycling I suppose but such a facility is not typically thought of as a recycling center.<div><br></div><div>amenity=scrapyard<br></div><div>shop=car_parts</div><div>second_hand=only</div><div><br></div><div>If there is an area involved, use landuse=industrial as well.</div><div><br></div><div>We also discussed the scrapyard=* tag but no consensus was reached on it as that wasn't the point of the discussion.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 2:11 PM, Warin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:61sundowner@gmail.com" target="_blank">61sundowner@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 7/5/2016 7:50 AM, Tom Pfeifer wrote:<br>

The wiki seemed to suggest that was for containers - recycling points<br>

I cannot find such suggestion. amenity=recycling is distinguished<br>
into either recycling_type=centre or recycling_type=container,<br>
and you can specify the material among others: recycling:scrap_metal=yes/no<br>

I used amenity=scrap_yard<br>

<br>
Only used 4 times, should be changed as above.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
and scrap-yard=metal<br>

<br>
When the related value has an underscore you should not introduce a<br>
hyphen here.<br>
<br>
But please follow the stream:<br>
<br>
amenity=recycling 164677x<br>
recycling_type=centre 8200x<br>
recycling:scrap_metal 9000x<br>

Possibly the original feature is a 'bone yard' (american english), 'junk yard', wrecking yard' etc. These are where old scraped cars go to have parts removed and sold on for use on cars. As such they 'recycle' every thing they can off the car - windows, seats, engines, wheels, etc etc ... As such they recycle more than just 'metal'<br>
<br>
Possibly these should be tagged<br>
<br>
recycling_type=centre<br>
recycling:vehicle=yes<br>
<br>
The use of 'vehicle' is fairly general and would include motorcycles, trucks, tractors.. Possibly some may want to be more specific?<br>
vehicle:car=yes etc.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
