This work presents the enforcement performance of recent Haulien County, Taiwan municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling management programs. These programs include: Mandatory Refuse Sorting and Recycling, Diverse Bulk Waste Reuse, Pay-as-you-Discharge, Total Food Waste Recycling, Restricted Use on Plastic Shopping Bags & Plastic Tableware, Recycling Fund Management, and Ash Reuse. These programs provide incentives to reduce the MSW quantity growth rate. It was found that the recycled material fraction of MSW generated in 2001 was from 6.8%, but was 32.4% in 2010 and will increase stably by 2-5% yearly in the near future. Survey data for the last few years show that only 2.68% (based on total MSW generated) of food waste was collected in 2001. However, food waste was up to 9.7% in 2010 after the Total Food Waste Recycling program was implemented. The reutilization rate of bottom ash was 20% in 2005 and up to 65% in 2010 owing to Ash Reuse Program enforcement. A quantified index, the Total Recycle Index, was proposed to evaluate MSW management program performance. The demonstrated county will move toward a zero waste society in 2015 if the Total Recycle Index approaches 1.00. Exact management with available programs can lead to slow-growing waste volume and recovery of all MSW.
本研究展示了台湾花莲县最近实施的都市固体废物（MSW）回收管理计划的执行绩效。这些计划包括：强制垃圾分类和回收、多种大件垃圾再利用、按量收费、全面食品废物回收、限制使用塑料袋和塑料餐具、回收基金管理以及灰渣再利用。这些计划为减少 MSW 增长率提供了激励措施。结果发现，2001 年产生的 MSW 中回收材料的比例为 6.8%，但到 2010 年已达到 32.4%，在不久的将来将稳定地以每年 2-5%的速度增长。最近几年的调查数据显示，2001 年仅收集了 2.68%（基于总 MSW 产生量）的食品废物。然而，在实施全面食品废物回收计划后，2010 年食品废物达到了 9.7%。由于实施了灰渣再利用计划，底灰的再利用率从 2005 年的 20%提高到 2010 年的 65%。提出了一个量化指标，即总回收指数，用于评估 MSW 管理计划的绩效。如果总回收指数接近 1.00，示范县将在 2015 年前迈向零废物社会。通过实施现有计划进行精确管理，可以实现废物增长率的缓慢增长和所有 MSW 的回收利用。
