The DEP also reminds the public that while going out to celebrate the National Day during the long holiday, please remember to properly sort garbage and recycle, implement food waste reduction, drain food waste before disposal, and do not illegally dump garbage bags or discard cigarette butts.

Regular na Pangongolekta ng Trak ng Basura sa Lungsod ng Taipei Tuwing Holiday ng Double Tenth National Day 2026

Ngayong taon (2026), ang Double Tenth National Day sa Oktubre 10 ay papatak ng Sabado, na bubuo ng 3-araw na mahabang holiday kasama ang Biyernes, Oktubre 9, at Linggo, Oktubre 11. Ang mga cleaning squad ng Taipei City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ay magpapanatili ng regular na pangongolekta ng trak ng basura sa Lungsod ng Taipei sa Biyernes, Oktubre 9, at Sabado, Oktubre 10. Batay sa nakagawian, sususpindihin ang pangongolekta ng basura sa Linggo, Oktubre 11.

Ipinunto ng DEP na ang mga mamamayan na hindi makakasabay sa iskedyul ng trak ng basura ay maaaring gumamit ng 30 itinalagang time-limited garbage drop-off points sa Lungsod ng Taipei.

Pinapaalalahanan din ng DEP ang publiko na habang lumalabas upang ipagdiwang ang National Day sa mahabang holiday, mangyaring tandaan na maayos na paghiwalayin ang basura at mag-recycle, ipatupad ang pagbabawas ng food waste, patuyuin ang food waste bago itapon, at huwag iligal na magtapon ng mga garbage bag o upos ng sigarilyo. Sama-sama tayong magtulungan upang mapanatili ang malinis at maayos na kapaligiran ng lungsod.
