Lize Refuse Incinerator Plant, Waste management facility in Neihu District, Taiwan.
The Lize Refuse Incinerator Plant is a waste management facility in Neihu District that processes large quantities of refuse daily using combustion technology. The facility converts the heat energy generated from burning into electricity for power production.
The facility opened in 1992 as Taipei's first major waste incineration solution, responding to the city's mounting refuse challenges and limited landfill space. This marked a significant shift in how the region managed urban refuse disposal.
The facility maintains a community engagement program with educational tours for students and provides public spaces including tennis courts, swimming pools, and playgrounds for local residents.
Visits require advance arrangement through official channels, and the site offers guided tours for interested groups and individuals. Arriving during cooler hours of the day makes the visit more comfortable given the facility's heat-intensive operations.
The site operates a rehabilitation center for endangered animal species, housing injured and orphaned wildlife on the grounds. Visitors occasionally witness this rescue work firsthand and learn about local conservation efforts.
