[Reporter Lin Yizhang / Report from Chiayi] Today is New Year’s Eve, and people are cleaning up during the Chinese New Year. But tonight, the garbage truck of the cleaning team in Shuishang Township, Chiayi County, smoked and caught fire. The "car battery charger" that should be thrown away continues to emit smoke. She asked the villagers to do a good job in "garbage separation". Batteries, lighters, gas tanks and other flammable things must not be thrown into the garbage truck.

Lin Xiangting said that he received an urgent notice from the cleaning team tonight. The garbage truck suddenly caught fire when half of the garbage was collected. The experienced team immediately called the recycling truck for support, and then contacted the village head of the next village to say that the garbage truck would be delayed. When the time is up, take out all the garbage, check the garbage, and find out whether the fire is caused by the vehicle problem or the garbage of the people. Later, when the fire was extinguished, it was found that the car battery charger that should have been thrown away for recycling was smoking.
