Well, it's OpenStreetMap, you can basically tag anything. Although I've never seen something like a dedicated flag disposal here in Europe, you could combine amenity=waste_basket + waste=flags.

waste=flags is only used twice to this date, however. See taginfo.

How this data is used, however, is up to the renderers/data consumers.
