According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharps_waste),
sharps waste includes:

* Hypodermic needles
* Disposable scalpels and blades
* Contaminated glass and some plastics

Therefore we may need both waste=sharps and waste=syringes as it is
most likely not allowed to throw e.g. scalpels into boxes that are
only labelled 'syringes'.

I would tag outdoor syringes drop boxes (like

separate node and indoor ones as an attribute of the toilet, perhaps
syringes_bin=yes?
