Add Label for food_waste recycling

Help and support
1

Hello!

There are more and more food waste containers in Europe.

For the most part, you can only put food waste in them (no green waste), so you have to use the tag recycling:food_waste

I noticed that most people get it wrong and indicate recycling:green_waste.
The problem is that in ID Editor, in particular, there is no label for “food_waste” in English and in the other languages (and therefore it does not seem to be available in Transifex). Unlike “green_waste” which is well translated.

Do you know how to add this label “Food waste” for food_waste so that it can be translated into other languages ​​in Transifex?

Hi and welcome to the OSM-Community!

I’m not 100% sure, but I’d say it needs to be added here in the iD tagging scheme: id-tagging-schema/data/fields/recycling_accepts.json at a11968d8b6f73b18820e978e848fddeb0a755b3d · openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema · GitHub

I guess something like this:

I have opened a pull request here as a change request: Adding "food_waste" as value by mcliquid · Pull Request #1427 · openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema · GitHub

Since my experience with the iD Tagging Scheme is very limited, I don’t know if this will be successful.
From the experience of my only two PRs in this repository so far, it can take from 1 month up to 6 months for a change to be reviewed.
