Re: [openstreetmap-website] Question mark tool calls recycling containers “recycling centres” (#1164)

I'm sure there are thousands of tag combinations that it doesn't know about - in the absence of a description for a specific key+value combination if falls back to something more general.

In this case it has no knowledge of `recycling_type` at all so it falls back to a generic description for `amenity=recycling` which is not actually "recycling centre" but rather "recycling point" which would cover everything from a small container to a row of large skips.

I really don't see a problem here - we are never going to have names for every minor tag variation or we would have to have thousands of them.
