Taiwan is good at recycling – level 1

27-01-2026 15:00

Taiwan has a good recycling system. People pay money for trash which they cannot recycle.

Therefore, they try to make less trash. Cities have no trash bins on the streets. Big trucks come many times each week. People keep their trash at home until the truck comes.

Companies collect trash, and the government helps them with money. Shops and factories also pay money to help recycle plastic. AI robots sort trash into plastic, metal, and paper.
Most trash can return to use, but some plastic goes to fire plants. Taiwan shows that good rules help people care about trash.

Difficult words: recycle (to use old things and materials again and not throw them away), trash (things which you do not want and throw away), trash bin (a container where people put trash).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
