Included on the top of the government’s agenda is to find possible solutions to amend the waste problem and maintain the residential hygiene. According to the recent statistics by the Environmental Protection Agency, 40 percent of the current wastes are made of recyclable trash such as paper, glass, plastic, and metal. If properly classified and disposed, the burden of waste disposal on the environment can be greatly reduced. The benefits of waste classification such as reduction of garbage and reuse of energy greatly encourages the government to actively promote the recycling of trash. After an intensive comparison between the current system of unclassified collection of the waste in Taiwan and the newly introduced system of charging solid waste by bag in Taipei City, the latter has proved to be worthier of course. One of the major advantages of the new system is the reduction of energy wasting, permitting an ongoing usage of the environment for our future children. Despite the difficulties of implementing the new system in several cities and towns, it is necessary to promote it step by step in order to upgrade the living quality, to be fair and just, and achieve the goal of trash reduction and recycling.
