I agree in principle, it is a misnomer and they likely intended „mixed“. With 12 k usage it is not so rare, as the whole recycling: topic is quite in use but not really through the roof, if you think about the potentially mappable occurrences of these: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=recycling%3A
recycling:glass has nearly 74k usage and is on top of this list.

I would be in favor of changing waste to mixed before it becomes hundreds of thousands.


Cheers, Martin
