[Tagging] Public refrigerators

[Markus Peloso]

Hello Markus

Thank you for starting this discussion. I have plans to start a feature propose for food sharing.

I found four tags that people use for food sharing social_facility=food_sharing, amenity=food_sharing, social_facility=community_fridge and recycling:food=yes.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/compare/social_facility=food_sharing/amenity=food_sharing/social_facility=community_fridge/recycling:food=yes

Food related sharing boxes are common:

  *   http://mapping.littlefreepantry.org/ (~800 documented)
  *   https://foodsharing.de/karte (~750 documented)

In my opinion, food released boxes deserve their own tag. Give boxes and foot related boxes have a different concept in detail. Some foot related boxes eg. have a fridge, some disallows meat or only a group of people is allowed to fill it up. Little free pantry seems for giving food to poor people. Foodsharing seems for reduce food waste.

The amenity=give_box tag is specific for sharing and reusing none food items. Please do not use it for food sharing.

Currently I use and suggest amenity=food_sharing [+ fridge=yes] to tag this kinds of facility.

Best regards
Markus

Yes, similar. On the other hand, public bookcases, which have their
own tag, are also kind of give boxes.

Not perfect, but way better than amenity=recycling or
amenity=social_facility in my opinion.
