One unlucky man will never forget the sight and smell of what happens when a bag of juicy trash explodes in the trash truck. Taiwan’s trash collection system is known for its classical melodies and scenes of humanity at its finest: people line up to throw out their bags of trash, which have been carefully sorted. But sometimes the tidy process can go terribly wrong.

All seems normal, with the trash truck playing its classical melody as people take turns throwing out their trash. But while almost everything is as usual, one unlucky victim is about to come face-to-face with a stinky situation.

Over in Taoyuan’s Guishan District, a man wearing a clean white shirt has just thrown his trash into the truck, but then, all of a sudden, his shirt is now a disgusting yellow. He’s standing there shocked, with juices dripping from his face; this surveillance camera shows that the same yellow gunk is covering his hair.

I’d just thrown in my trash, because I’m thinking that he’d already thrown in his trash before me. It’s probably from the people running the store next to me; they just threw in their kitchen waste as well, which ended up exploding all over me, covering me from head to toe.

With his head down, the man, covered in rancid juices, walks back to his betel nut stand. Later on, he realized that the ordeal could’ve been due to someone not properly sorting their trash. The offender likely put kitchen waste in with the other trash, and when the truck’s compressor squeezed the bag the juices shot forward. He described the liquid as being yellow and oily, and that the odor smelled disgusting. Fortunately for him, a neighbor let him wash off. Without the kind gesture, he’s not sure how he could’ve made it home smelling and looking like that.

It must feel really gross. He’s my boss, so it’s scary to think of, like if it was me I’d be really mad.

Shen Miao-hui
Taoyuan Environmental Management
Concerning the individual who failed to properly sort their trash, we will follow the regulations found in the Waste Disposal Act, which allow for a maximum fine of NT$6,000.

Taoyuan City’s Office of Environmental Management reiterated that in addition to complying with trash sorting rules, in order to avoid a similar stinky situation from happening again, people should keep a suitable distance from garbage trucks.
