Dave, are we still looking for a name for a new tag when it seems we can
work with whats already there ?

tourism=camp_site
amenity=waste_disposal
waste=chemical_toilet

I agree its wordier than it need be but those tags exist and we don't
need to go through an approval process.

amenity=waste_disposal does not need to be associated with campsite, it can be .. but can stand alone.

The 'amenity=waste_disposal does not look to have been through an aproval process ... nor does any tag. The 'approval process' is voluntary .. I like to use it as it gets more views other than mine and hopefully gets a better concesus and results in a better tag.

According to tag info the following tags are in use for waste=

None of them are documented - therefore they are not defined within OSM.
Any other tag is unused and could be changed if you think that would of benefit.

So you/'we'/OSM are not stuck with waste=chemical_toilet .... at least at the moment.

Do note that waste= is used under amenity=waste_basket as well as amenity=waste_disposal.
