A bin made for the disposal of tattered or worn-out flags.

There are often cultural and/or patriotic norms around proper disposal and retirement of flags, and these bins allow for the flags to be collected in order to handle their disposal in a dignified way.

How to map

Should be combined with amenity=waste_basket. If the entity running it and handling the disposal is available, that can be mapped with operator=*.

Examples
