    Taipei New Year's party produced 8.1 tons of garbage, 5.1 tons of recycle

The Taipei Department for Environmental Protection (DEP) said on Sunday that cleaning crews made up of 745 workers collected a staggering 8.1 metric tons of waste, as well as 5.1 metric tons of recyclable materials, after just one hour after the New Year's celebrations had ended. 

The DEP made sure that large garbage disposal areas were set in specific places for people to dispose of their garbage materials as they were leaving the celebrations. 

Apart from an armada of 745 cleaners, the Department also dispatched 26 garbage vehicles and eight large garbage trucks. 

In Taiwan, garbage trucks play music when they drive by, reminding everyone it's time to bring out their trash.

They have one of the world's highest recycling rates (55%).

After the streets had been cleared of garbage, 61 cleaners swept the streets with disinfectant equipment.

Four small electric sweepers gave the roads a final step to restore the area's usual appearance.

In 2022, the amount of collected garbage for the New Year celebrations was recorded at 7.5 tons and that of recyclables was at 4.8 tons. 

The DEP stated that this increase is correlated to relaxed attitudes toward eating and drinking in public, including the easing of pandemic restrictions.
