Honestly, "point" seems dangerously prone to misunderstanding, when used as
a value here in OSM. I know we tend to say "recycling point", but that
doesn't mean that we say "point". "I'll just go to the point".

I wish I could suggest a good alternative word, e.g. a word we already use
for some other type of feature.

What is the fundamental reason this is not a recycling_type=centre? Is it
the size? (If so, no problem - use "centre" on a suitable polygon.) Is it
the fact that it's unstaffed? (Could use self_service=only or
supervised=no.) Is it that there's no perimeter boundary?

Best
Dan
