amenity=recycling for donated goods?

Should I use amenity=recycling for containers that collect clothes, books, etc for donation? It's not really the correct interpretation of "recycling" (which is processing waste into a reusable base material), but I see it's been used like that in various places.

2	There was a proposal to create amenity=donation for things like this but it was rejected. Given there are ~40K amenity=recycling recycling:clothes=, I think it's pretty well established alternative. permanent link answered 03 Jul '17, 14:49* neuhausr 7.5k●8●70●121 accept rate: 21%
