New Taipei Garbage Truck Collection Continues During the National Day Long Weekend! EPA Urges Proper Sorting for the Holiday

(FWA 2026/9/24) Coinciding with the 3-day National Day long weekend in 2026, considering that the public still needs to dispose of garbage during the holiday, the New Taipei City Environmental Protection Department (EPA) will maintain its convenient garbage truck collection schedule. Except for Sunday, October 11, which is a regular day off, garbage collection services will be provided as usual on all other days of the long weekend.

The EPA stated that during the regular Sunday day off, if the public still needs to dispose of garbage, they can make use of the 22 designated collection points across the city. Detailed opening hours and addresses can be found on the “New Taipei Trash Truck” website (https://crd-rubbish.epd.ntpc.gov.tw/). The EPA reminded the public to use designated garbage bags for general waste and to drop them off during the specified opening hours. To maintain cleanliness around the collection points, the EPA has set up mobile surveillance cameras and dispatched personnel for inspections. Anyone found illegally dumping garbage or failing to sort it properly during non-opening hours could face a fine of up to NT$100,000.

The EPA specifically urges the public to properly separate their waste into three major categories: “General Garbage,” “Food Waste,” and “Recyclables.” Please do not mix food waste or recyclables into the designated garbage bags and throw them into the garbage truck.

Additionally, dangerous items such as gas canisters and high-pressure spray bottles must be completely emptied before being handed over to the recycling truck. It is strictly prohibited to throw them directly into the garbage truck to avoid friction and sparks from the machine that could cause explosions, ensuring the safety of frontline cleaning staff and the public. Moreover, barbecue bamboo skewers should be broken and wrapped securely to prevent injuries. Used charcoal must be thoroughly extinguished with water and completely cooled down before being placed in a designated garbage bag. For detailed disposal methods of various items, please visit the “Recyclable Items Easy Search” website (https://recycle.ntpc.gov.tw/Article/Index/category16).

Tuloy ang Pangongolekta ng Trak ng Basura sa New Taipei sa National Day Long Weekend! Umapela ang EPA ng Tamang Pagbubukod para sa Holiday

(FWA 2026/9/24) Kasabay ng 3-araw na National Day long weekend sa 2026, dahil kailangan pa rin ng publiko na magtapon ng basura tuwing holiday, pananatilihin ng New Taipei City Environmental Protection Department (EPA) ang maginhawang iskedyul ng pangongolekta ng trak ng basura. Maliban sa Linggo, Oktubre 11, na isang regular na araw ng pahinga, ang mga serbisyo ng pangongolekta ng basura ay ibibigay gaya ng dati sa lahat ng iba pang araw ng long weekend.

Ayon sa EPA, sa regular na araw ng pahinga tuwing Linggo, kung kailangan pa rin ng publiko na magtapon ng basura, maaari nilang gamitin ang 22 itinalagang collection points sa buong lungsod. Ang mga detalye ng oras at address ay matatagpuan sa website ng “New Taipei Trash Truck” (https://crd-rubbish.epd.ntpc.gov.tw/). Pinaalalahanan ng EPA ang publiko na gumamit ng itinalagang garbage bags para sa pangkalahatang basura at itapon ang mga ito sa loob ng nakatakdang oras. Upang mapanatili ang kalinisan sa mga collection points, nagkabit ang EPA ng mga mobile surveillance camera at nagpadala ng mga tauhan para mag-inspeksyon. Ang sinumang mahuhuling nagtatapon ng basura kung saan-saan o hindi nagbubukod nang maayos sa labas ng nakatakdang oras ay maaaring magmulta ng hanggang NT$100,000.

Mahigpit na umaapela ang EPA sa publiko na paghiwalayin nang maayos ang kanilang mga basura sa tatlong pangunahing kategorya: “Pangkalahatang Basura,” “Food Waste,” at “Recyclables.” Huwag ihalo ang food waste o recyclables sa mga itinalagang garbage bags at itapon sa trak ng basura.

Bukod pa rito, ang mga mapanganib na bagay tulad ng gas canisters at high-pressure spray bottles ay dapat ganap na ubusin bago ibigay sa recycling truck. Mahigpit na ipinagbabawal na itapon ang mga ito nang direkta sa garbage truck upang maiwasan ang friction at sparks na maaaring magdulot ng pagsabog, para na rin sa kaligtasan ng mga cleaning staff at publiko. Ang mga ginamit na barbecue bamboo skewers ay dapat putulin at balutin nang maayos para maiwasan ang pagkasugat. Ang mga ginamit na uling ay dapat patayin gamit ang tubig at palamigin muna bago ilagay sa itinalagang garbage bag. Para sa detalyadong paraan ng pagtatapon ng iba’t ibang bagay, bisitahin ang website na “Recyclable Items Easy Search” (https://recycle.ntpc.gov.tw/Article/Index/category16).
