Thanks everyone for all the feedback. I will tag them as a man_made=incinerator. 

Then, shouldn’t we be tagging *all of these* as man_made=incinerators? (power and non-power generating alike?) 

There shouldn’t be any key/value incompatibility.

for a modern incinerator complex which handles both burnable and unburnable waste:

man_made=incinerator
power=generator
generator:source=waste
amenity=waste_transfer_station
(in fact, the only conflict I see is that amenity=recycling & amenity=waste_transfer_station can’t be on the same landuse, which is an often shared job here in Japan, but that is for another day). 

I feel this should be the main tag for all incinerators. if they produce power via a form of waste disposal, then the additional power generation tags should be added. 

There are obviously power plants (and other industrial processes) that are purpose-built to use unrecyclable waste as a fuel (tire-burning smelters, etc), but all of these incinerators around me are primarily for getting rid of the garbage generated by a city.

I feel we should clarify the tagging scheme to tag *all* these incinerators as man_made=incinerator and add the power generation when necessary.
