Environmental enforcement and management in Chiayi

Overview

Authorities in the Chiayi region are implementing various environmental management and enforcement measures to address public health and sanitation concerns.

In Chiayi City, the Environmental Protection Bureau has urged landowners to maintain vacant lots and buildings to prevent mosquito breeding and the spread of dengue fever. Under the Waste Disposal Act, failure to manage overgrown vegetation or stagnant water can result in fines between NT$1,200 and NT$100,000.

In Chiayi County, the Environmental Protection Bureau is expanding the use of high-resolution surveillance and LED warning displays to monitor littering, cigarette butt disposal, and public urination. While current fines range from 1,200 to 6,000 TWD, a legislative amendment is set to increase the maximum penalty for illegal dumping to 100,000 TWD. The county is also continuing an initiative to exchange cigarette butts for environmental maintenance fees.
