Tainan's garbage mountain has nowhere to go! With 300,000 tons of accumulated waste, it will take 20 years to incinerate all of it|20230502



Tainan City generates about 1,800 tons of garbage daily, but the existing processing capacity is insufficient. With only two incineration plants available, 450 tons of waste remain unprocessed each day. Over time, this has led to a significant waste management crisis, with 300,000 tons of accumulated garbage piling up like a small mountain. It is estimated that it will take 20 years to incinerate all of this waste.
