The key:amenity=waste_disposal has a sub key
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waste where some of the things
you mention as stated. These presently are;
* *waste*=trash

- (for trash/rubbish)

<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:waste%3Doil&action=edit&redlink=1>
- (for motoroil, diesel and emulsions)
* *waste*=chemical_toilet
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:waste%3Dchemical_toilet&action=edit&redlink=1>

The key:waste=excrement already exists as a sub tag under
amenity=waste_disposal but the main page is not consistent with that ..
Either the main page is wrong to exclude excrement OR the waste page is
wrong to include it. Take your pick.I vote for excrement on the main
wiki page, not for its exclusion.
The main page also mentions "A place where canal boaters, caravaners
etc. can dispose of rubbish (trash/waste)." better expressed as "A
place where people can dispose of waste."?There are a few of these kind
of statements that are tending to exclude things .. when there is no
alternative and where the key:waste= includes them.
------------------Recycling?
I'd think bins dedicated to recycling would be better tagged using the
existing amenity=recycling
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Drecycling .

The problem is that "waste" as currently defined in the wiki refers to
things you want to dispose of that would come out of a home or office,
things like table scraps, cans and bottles, paper, discarded packaging
materials. My term for this is trash or garbage. These days much of
that is recycled, especially in certain environmentally aware
communities, but that's far from being the general case. As usual,
there are differing definitions for these terms depending on where you
live and what you are accustomed to.
If you rewrite the wiki definition of amenity=waste_disposal to
include sewage I think you'll invite a lot of extra discussion and run
into a dead end with your proposal. Using it with a subkey like
waste=sewage might be a better approach but then there needs to be a
bunch of other waste=* subkeys for recyclable items, paper items, etc.

Hi,
Reading the wiki on key:amenity=waste_disposal
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_disposal
says .. it is not for 'watery waste disposal' .. yet the key:waste
says it is for 'watery waste disposal'!!!!
It needs a rewrite into a sensible thing! That is consistent!
And does not reference old history but simply states what it it
for and how to use it...
Any objections to a rewrite .. you can if you wish leave it to me
.. (with possible speeelin errors and auto corrections) ?
