If it is piled high with plastic bags, assorted rubbish and human piss and shit then it is more a sign that they need a toilet. It would definitely need a different symbol. I was thinking of a squatting man symbol</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"> Maybe “landuse=open_defecation_area” would be more appropriate but that may interfere with other land use tags.
