Would they be best tagged as a separate node of their own? (Biohazard sympol would make for a nice icon! https://www.dreamstime.com/sharp-container-icon-sharp-container-simple-icon-medicine-waste-clipart-isolated-white-background-image125538340 ) Sharps bins like these https://goo.gl/images/pmXf7G are frequently found in public toilet blocks - would they also get a separate tag on the building, or just be listed under attributes of the toilet?
