Taitung Incinerator, Waste management facility in Taitung City, Taiwan.
The Taitung Incinerator is a waste processing facility in Taitung City that handles household waste through combustion technology. The installation uses modern methods to reduce waste volume and manage refuse for the surrounding area.
The facility was completed in 2006 but remained inactive for 16 years due to funding disputes and operational challenges between government agencies. This extended delay postponed its practical use significantly.
The incinerator reflects Taiwan's environmental policies and commitment to modern waste management solutions in urban and rural communities.
The facility is located in an industrial area outside central Taitung. Visitors should know that this is an active operational site and access may be restricted to certain areas or times.
The facility sustained significant damage from Typhoon Nepartak in 2016 and required extensive repairs to restore function. This event highlighted how natural disasters impact regional infrastructure systems.
