On third thought, breweries isn’t appropriate because not all reverse vending 
machine is for beer bottles, or even bottles at all. 

If something like brands_accepted existed, that would be fine. I’d rather not 
create something new. 


amenity=reverse_vending_machine
reverse_vending=bottle_return
 
Machines may take more than one type of item. Some here take bottles and bottle 
creates. Some take metal cans. 

Reverse vending machines are not the only vending machine type that’s not 
technically a vending machine, although you are exchanging one thing for 
another. 

I propose
amenity=vending_machine
vending=reverse_vending (or keep bottle_return as its already in use)
recycling:glass_bottles=yes/no (already is use)
recycling:<other types>=yes/no
Plus another optional tag to dictate which brands the machine takes
