Inconsiderate locals dump trash at collection site during closing hours
Inconsiderate locals dump trash at collection site during closing hours
2026-04-07
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.

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.

方便當隨便? 民眾非清運場開放時間亂扔垃圾釀髒亂
2026-04-07
都說垃圾不落地，怎麼會在垃圾清運場外，反而堆了一大堆垃圾。原來台南西港的清運場，提供附近民眾方便，上班時間會開放讓民眾來丟擲垃圾，沒想到非開放時間，還是有人故意從門口外亂丟，善意被糟塌反倒製造了髒亂。
監視器影片拍下，有人開車，有人騎車，下車抱著垃圾，就往裏頭丟，甚至還有名黑衣男子，直接攀爬自動電捲門，大喇喇跳進去丟垃圾，這是位在台南西港一處垃圾清運場。
[[附近民眾]]
“看到他們丟這樣，我就說這門一定打不開啦，因為丟那樣都卡到門，我都是看到他們沒開，我就沒丟了”
[[附近民眾]]
“不會，我不會，我規矩很好，就是給人家方便，結果都亂丟”
這處垃圾集運場，表訂週一到五早上8點到12點，下午1點半到傍晚5點半，其他非開放時間，都不開放丟垃圾，還加註了請勿攀爬字樣，違者將公布照片，但還是防不住，想丟就丟的人。
[[台南市環保局專員 朱弘哲]]
“非開放時間不得棄置廢棄物，卻有民眾濫用美意，在非開放時間亂丟垃圾，已違反廢棄物清理法，環保局將從車牌找人依法告發，最高可處新台幣 6000元罰鍰”
環保局警告，亂丟垃圾的行為已經觸法，只要被監視器拍到車牌，就會依法開罰，一個都別想鑽漏洞，民眾可別貪圖一時方便，跟自己荷包過不去。
