NCKU’s policy waste disposal

National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) has established institutional procedures for the segregation, recycling, collection, final treatment, and monitoring of campus waste through its Directions on General and Recyclable Waste Processing.
University units are required to implement waste segregation and recycling and to regularly report recycling results. General waste is subject to mandatory sorting, transparent-bag requirements, and inspection measures to promote waste reduction. Non-recyclable general waste is collected by the Office of General Affairs and transported to an authorised municipal incineration facility for final treatment. Recyclable materials, including plastics, glass, metals, paper, batteries, lamps, and electrical appliances, are separately collected and transferred to the University's recycling facility before being processed by qualified recycling contractors.
NCKU also monitors and publishes annual waste data, including quantities of general waste sent for final treatment and materials diverted for recycling. Through source reduction, waste segregation, recycling, authorised disposal and quantitative monitoring, the University seeks to minimise waste requiring final disposal and increase resource recovery.
  1. Tracking List for NCKU Garbage and Recycling Amount Over Years













​​
NCKU systematically tracks monthly quantities of general waste and recyclable materials across campus. General waste is sent for incineration, while recyclable materials are separately collected for recycling. Annual records from 2021 onward demonstrate continuous quantitative monitoring of waste disposal and recycling, supporting the University’s waste management and reduction practices.





 
  1. NCKU Directions on General and Recyclable Waste Processing
 















NCKU has established formal directions for general and recyclable waste management. The policy requires waste sorting, regular collection, recycling of designated materials, composting of leaves and branches, and monthly reporting of recycling results. General waste is transported to approved incineration facilities for final treatment.

In 2025, NCKU strengthened waste disposal management through training on waste classification, storage, collection, transportation, treatment, and regulatory compliance. The University also promoted proper documentation and tracking of waste flows, reinforcing responsible disposal practices and ensuring that campus waste is transferred to authorised treatment facilities.




 
  1. Laboratory Liquid Waste Disposal ​​​
NCKU has established a procedure for “Laboratory Liquid Waste Management” to ensure compliant disposal. The process includes four main steps: (1) laboratories must first apply to become members of the joint waste treatment program, confirmed via university documentation;
(2) sign disposal contracts with qualified contractors, with quotations and required volumes coordinated by the Environmental Resources Center; (3) classify laboratory liquid waste according to designated coding standards to ensure accurate handling; and
(4) submit disposal lists before the 10th of each month to schedule processing.
This system enhances transparency and efficiency in laboratory waste management while minimizing environmental risks.


 
  1. Waste collection and recycling service schedule
NCKU has established a “Garbage Collection and Recycling Schedule,” with fixed collection times on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The collection is carried out in designated time slots across all campuses, including Kuang-Fu, Sheng-Li, Tzu-Chiang, Ching-Yeh, Cheng-Hsin, Cheng-Kung, and Tung-Ning, where garbage and recyclables are gathered at specified locations. Each unit must consolidate its waste according to the schedule, with collection postponed in case of heavy rain or holidays. Additionally, an extra collection is provided at Tzu-Chiang Campus between 12:00–12:20 noon to ensure comprehensive coverage. This system ensures efficient waste classification and recycling operations, maintaining campus cleanliness and supporting environmental sustainability.
