At the temporary waste transfer station in Huxi, Douliu City, Yunlin County, a mountain of over 10,000 tons of garbage has accumulated, with the bottom layers left for more than two years. This has severely impacted the surrounding environment and the quality of life in nearby Citong Township. To resolve the crisis, the Douliu City Office secured funding from the Yunlin County Government to pack and seal the accumulated waste, preventing odors and wastewater from further polluting the environment. So far, 7,000 tons of garbage have been packed, with 4,000 tons still on-site. Mayor Lin Sheng-jue stated that the remaining garbage will be transported for incineration, and the site will be cleared before the Lunar New Year.
