How to Take Out the Trash in Nantou County
Most places in Taiwan have no street-side trash cans and no fixed garbage drop-off points. You wait for the garbage truck, then carry your trash down and toss it in yourself.
- Trucks usually come from late afternoon into the evening and only stop a few minutes at each spot, so be out by the street with your trash early.
- Hear music? The truck is almost here — usually “Für Elise” or “A Maiden's Prayer.”
- If you live in an apartment building, many buildings collect trash through the management office. Ask your building manager first.
Sort your trash into 3 types:
- General waste: goes in the garbage truck.
- Recycling: PET bottles, cans, glass bottles, paper and plastic containers. Give them a quick rinse and hand them to the recycling truck that follows behind.
- Food waste: pour leftovers and fruit peels into the food waste bin on the truck.
