Comment:

 Processing of the Special Phrase pages needs to be kicked off manually.
 You don't really see the effects of your changes until the next reimport
 (which happens rather rarely because it is expensive).

 That said, all entries with amenity=recycling point are pointless because
 this tag/value combination doesn't exist in OSM and special searches check
 against the existence of these.

 The ones with operator 'in' on the other hand are necessary. Depending on
 the operator, Nominatim queries the database slightly different.In fact,
 they are the more important ones. 'Point de recyclage Dolembreux' asks for
 a recycling point called Dolembreux, while Point de recyclage a
 Dolembreux' ask for a recycling point in Dolembreux. The latter is
 probably what you want. (That is the theory. In practice, the actual
 search is a bit more forgiving.)
