Lawmakers Approve Tougher Illegal Dumping Penalties
Posted on 2026-06-16 18:12:13
The Legislative Yuan has approved amendments to the Waste Disposal Act that
significantly increase penalties for illegal dumping and other environmental
offenses.

Under the changes, offenders could face up to seven years in prison and fines
of up to $15 million NT.

The law also gives authorities new high-tech tools to track waste shipments
and crack down on illegal dumping.

Penalties can be increased further if violations occur in environmentally
sensitive areas.

The amendments also give authorities greater powers to freeze assets and
recover environmental cleanup costs from offenders.

Environmental officials say the changes are aimed at strengthening
enforcement, improving waste management and supporting the development of a
circular economy.
