In an exclusive report on July 1, 2024, at 11:10 PM, reporter Zhang Xiangyu revealed that the Taichung City Government's Environmental Protection Bureau, in collaboration with the local Taichung Prosecutor's Office, discovered a new type of environmental crime involving 'illegal waste collection services' through the 'Police-Prosecutor Environmental Crime Reporting System.' To deter illicit operators, they implemented a special operation targeting illegal waste collection and have uncovered 5 cases since 2022, all leading to administrative penalties under the Waste Disposal Act. The bureau highlighted the responsibility of entrusting waste to authorized disposal facilities and warned of fines and potential imprisonment for illegal operators. The public is urged to be vigilant and not support unlawful waste disposal practices to avoid environmental pollution and legal consequences.
