[OSM-talk] amenity=recycling

[leblatt]

I Consider recycling should be encouraged, and I map a recycling point when
I come across one. But I find it abnormally tedious to tag the type of goods
that can be recycled. This information should have been made easier to tag.
For instance, instead of :

 

amenity=recycling

recycling:cans=yes

recycling:glass_bottles=yes

recycling_papers=yes

recycling:cardboard=yes

 

one could write :

 

amenity=recycling

recycling = cans; glass_bottles; papers; cardboard

 

Moreover, the tag auto-complete feature in editors would help when you find
the same combination in several places.

I don't know how heavily this amenity is being used, and how difficult a
switch would be, if even possible. Just wondering what others think.
