urges everyone to fold paper lunch boxes to reduce fluffiness and help waste pickers to recycle them easily .
Due to the large amount of paper tableware used, the disposal has caused a huge load on the school and has also affected some environmental sanitation. We urge everyone to follow the garbage reduction policy, eat in the restaurant as much as possible, reduce take-out and use disposable tableware, and maintain a beautiful campus environment.

94.4.1 Garbage classification promotion

. Starting from 94.4.1, environmental protection units (Environmental Protection Bureau and Environmental Protection Agency) will conduct inspections. Schools are priority targets for inspection. Garbage classification will be strictly determined. If regulations are not met, Punishment will be made. Recently, it was reported that the garbage penalty regulations are "strict in law and lenient in treatment of others", and the inspection method is to inspect the broken garbage bags of sub-cars...
All faculty, staff and students are requested to strengthen garbage classification and comply with environmental protection regulations.
Paper, paper plates, paper lunch boxes, drinks/paper cups/bottles/cans/aluminum foil packages that should be recycled should be put into the unsorted resource bin (gray-black) next to the garbage truck or the paper tableware recycling truck. It is recommended to use the museum as much as possible Recycle existing resource facilities (such as paper, bottles and cans, waste batteries, fluorescent tubes, etc.) to avoid "explosion" of resource barrels.
Leftovers, fruit peels, etc. that should be recycled, please put them into the kitchen waste bin (blue) next to the garbage truck. The back pages of garbage reduction paper are recycled after use. Ways to use the back pages include photocopying, printing, and making homemade notes. Empty cartons can be reused or used as paper recycling bins...be creative

. Reduce the use of disposable tableware (for internal use). Spend in moderation, order as much food as possible, order as much as you can, and reduce the amount of food leftover if there are no leftovers. Stack paper cutlery/cups/lunch boxes after meals on top of each other for recycling, which helps reduce volume. It is recommended to use meals instead of lunch boxes for meetings, which may reduce the amount of food waste or make recycling inconvenient. ..... Garbage check results

In order to encourage all units on campus to do a good job in resource recycling/garbage classification, garbage and related facilities will still be inspected from time to time, signed and reported to the Bursar, and a letter will be issued to reward good units. Please strengthen your unit's continuous efforts and strive for the "Best Progress Award"!

A staff member from the Hsinchu City Environmental Protection Bureau informed by phone that a letter will be issued advising all owners of the seven pieces of "external garbage" not to throw garbage in our school vehicles. If improvements are not made, they will be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Waste Disposal Law! We would like to remind faculty and students living outside our school that those who use special garbage bags are not subject to this restriction.

After signing the instructions of the General Secretary, the center will send a letter to each unit and ask the director of the listed unit to provide rewards. Congratulations!

The "Garbage Sorting and Resource Recycling Checklist" (Second Edition) has been sent to all units for reference. Please check the garbage sorting of library facilities/cars by yourself. In order to promote the "waste responsibility system", all units are required to implement "self-inspection" and "self-management" to comply with environmental protection classification regulations. You can also download forms from the main menu of the website.

During the garbage classification inspection of this center, non-compliant units and individuals were discovered one after another, and notifications were issued to remind them to improve. Among them, a center was asked to make on-site improvements. The garbage generated by students included paper, bottles and cans, paper lunch boxes, and beverage aluminum foil packages/paper cups. / Tetra Pak needs to strengthen classification and recycling the most!
