Taipei City Market Administration Office

The environmental issues related to the Beitou market are as follows:

1. At present, mobile vendors on the periphery of Beitou Market are banned by the police.
2. It has been investigated that garbage near Xinshi Street outside the Beitou Market is dumped illegally by residents and small business entities nearby, not by the vendors in the market. The market vendors did not produce the garbage, so the Department of Environmental Protection of Taipei City Government will accept reports. Moreover, the autonomous association has placed rat bait to exterminate the problem of rats.
3. Regarding the maintenance of market environment cleanliness, in accordance with the "Taipei City Public Retail Market Autonomous Organization Management Measures," the current market booths are cleaned and maintained by the vendors after the end of the daily business. The vendors are also responsible for the cleaning of public and water ditches, as well and the transportation of garbage. The autonomous association will implement floor waxing and general cleaning every month.
