As the Wastes Control Act was amended (Act No. 17851; promulgated on January 5, 2021; to be enforced on July 6, 2021) to specify a ban on directly burying household wastes and obligate the installation of CCTVs for stored or buried wastes due to the issue of a considerable amount of flammable household wastes being buried directly, this Partial Amendment aims to prepare specific criteria for the above to promote waste recycling, expand the scope of recycling, ease relevant regulations, and improve and supplement some shortcomings observed in the operation of the current system.
