Food
While dealing with the kitchen waste, cleaning crews find that people waste a lot of food. Sometimes people cook too much to eat, and sometimes they feel it doesn't taste good after buying so they throw the food in whole package and bottle or completely unopened. These foods are all poured into the kitchen waste container in great waste. |

At this time, they must clear up them and carry the full kitchen waste to the transfer station and then unload them. They repeat this heavy workload every day and face the heavy waste repeatedly. During the interview, they said they hoped the public would not throw their food casually any more. They thought waste was more embarrassing than the putrefactive odor of kitchen waste. |
Mattress
Memberes of the Cleaning Squad ask us to imagine the discarded mattress. We think the mattress must be broken and cannot be used, but we guess wrong. They say most of the discarded mattresses are still usable and some are not even damaged at all. |

They often find people call to ask them to take away the mattress which is used for only a few months, just because they are dirty with a little broken. Festivals even become the reasons for changing the mattress! Watching the discarded mattress on the roadside, they can only carry it onto the car even with frowned eyebrows. We ask whether there is only the mattress? The answer is no. In their eyes, many large furniture has the same end with mattresses, people inadvertently cause a lot of resource waste. For such extravagant life, the public should also see, but they have no sense. |
A large number of disposable tableware
Therefore, we are curious to search on the Internet. According to Taiwanstat, in recent years, Taiwan's average amount of rubbish per year is as high as more than 7,000,000 tons, and the average daily amount of rubbish generated by each person is 0.8 kg, and the number is quite alarming. According to data from SME Green Information Network, more than 10 million people eating takeout in Taiwan, with the average annual usage amount of about 590,000 tons of disposable tableware, and the average daily number of disposable tableware of about 17,500,000 sets. Such a large amount of waste will cause great pollution. |

Although many local governments now encourage people to use less disposable tableware, there are still a lot of people who use them for their convenience. However, because of the disposable nature of disposable tableware, people often throw them away directly to the corners of the road while visiting the night market. They deceive themselves as well as others by thinking they will not influence others. At this time, soup and food residue covers the ground, and people walk around over it. 
Members of the Cleaning Squad always silently clean the dirty floor in the early morning. There is much more disposable tableware on the floor of the night market than at home. However, our sense of mission to the environment is even more important than the entire 7 million tons of rubbish. We hope one day when there will be no waste in the large amount of rubbish. |
