A trash collection site in Tainan is facing a trash dumping problem after allowing locals to drop off their trash during the facility’s opening times. The problem lies with a handful of inconsiderate residents, who are hauling their rubbish to the site after hours and dumping it straight on the ground. Some even have the gall to climb the fence of the facility to move their garbage in. That results in a pile of garbage that’s left to fester at the gate for two days over weekends. Authorities warn that violators will be investigated and fined up to NT$6,000.

Surveillance footage shows people arriving by car and on scooters with bags of trash and tossing them inside. One man in black even climbs the gate to drop off his waste. This is the situation at a trash collection site in Tainan’s Xigang District.

Local
Disposes of trash responsibly
When I saw people dumping their trash in like that, the first thing I thought is that workers wouldn’t be able to open the gate later, because all the trash is blocking it. If I see the gate is closed, I don’t throw my rubbish over.

Local
Disposes of trash responsibly
I wouldn’t do that no. I follow the rules. What used to be a convenient option has now turned into chaos.

People are allowed to drop off their waste at the collection site from 8:00 to 12:00 in the morning, and 1:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon Monday to Friday. Dumping trash is not allowed outside of those hours, and there are signs saying “no climbing” and warning that photos of violators may be put up in public. But that hasn’t stopped some inconsiderate locals.

Dumping waste outside operating hours is prohibited. Some residents have abused this convenience by dumping trash during closed hours, violating the Waste Disposal Act. The bureau will track down offenders via license plates and issue fines of up to NT$6,000.

The Environmental Protection Bureau warns that illegal dumping is against the law. If surveillance cameras capture a license plate, fines will be issued accordingly. Officials urge locals not to seek short-term convenience at the expense of their own wallets.
