worker-can-enter criterion should be fine.
on the discussion page meanwhile.
Post by Marc GemisI wouldn't touch the page until the voting is over. One can always add
new values when the tag is in use and document them when needed. New
building types are also added all the time. No need to document it right
away.
just my .5 cents

Hi,
I've already edited Rational paragraph to give a better description
with distinction between buildings where workers can enter.
Secondly, ok for street_cabinet=waste (and maybe street_cabinet=waste_management
if cabinets are encountered with devices to manage waste transit or storage)
man_made=street_cabinet isn't incompatible with amenity=waste_* and
street_cabinet=waste should concern anything regarding waste.
I'm not so friendly with proposal editing while voting.
Nevertheless, with such extensive keys like street_cabinet=* I think
users won't mind if we document additional values.
Is everybody ok with it ?

Well, they re not open to the public - only the designated houses
in the area can use their station, not anyone else. You donât use other
peopleâs stations. There is one closer to my house, but Iâm not allowed to
use it, because the one pictred is
âoursâ. it is regualrly maintained, on rotation, by the users of
it.
These are not public garbage cans, they are a drop-off point
between specific customers and the garbage pickup.
They are not completely private, like a mail transfer box, but
they are not public either.

Post by Tom PfeiferI would distinguish between an amenity=waste_* for structures
that are open for everybody to bring their waste, with or
without fee,
Post by Tom Pfeiferthus as a POI somebody would navigate to (where can I bring my
waste),
Post by Tom Pfeiferand the cabinet=waste merely describing the street inventory
(what is that odd locked box for).
Post by johnwI was going to suggest "Waste Transfer station"
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_transfer_station
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwBut after reading the wiki for it, it was not at all what I
expected.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwIn America, at least in most suburban areas, waste is
collected from individual residences via bins/cans on the street
with(enormous) trucks, so there is no static transfer points whatsoever, it
goes from curb to landfill directly.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwIn Japan, There are static waste collection "Garbage
stations" [ãŽã ã¹ããŒã·ã§ã³] per street or area, and are often large, steel,
screened cages that are stuffed full of 45 liter bags. There is no possible
way fro a truck to service the myriad
of little tiny buildings, some of them only on walking paths -
even in cities of 100K people, so there is a garbage station for every
20-30 houses or so, or one for a large apartment or company. Temporary ones
are merely nets to keep the crows off
the bags, but most are permanent ones worth mapping.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwMy local garbage station (2 cabinets)
http://goo.gl/maps/VLgMP
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwa full one nearby http://goo.gl/maps/eqVS3
although some are old and look disused, they are used daily
or weekly by the populace, and mapping them would be useful on a very local
level (like the cabinets in general).
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwPlease add a line item for waste transfer, similar to the
postal transfer - this is a missing step in the garbage collection, and a
cabinet that have been overlooked.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwAlso, I suggest also adding "sliding" for the door hinge
option (as the second one has no hinges)
you've mentioned.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwPost by Tom Pfeifermaybe =waste is more consistent with existing tags such as
amenity=waste disposal, amenity=waste basket or
generator:source=waste
Garbage is less used in tags so far.
Post by François LacombeA cabinet is a feature where workers can't enter.
A building is the opposite.
Then, substations and other stuff can be divided between
those two sorts.
Post by Tom PfeiferPost by johnwPost by Tom PfeiferThat's a very plausible distinction and should be documented.
