Why It Matters
Taoyuan City's bag-based garbage collection is currently only implemented on a trial basis in Bade and Guishan 4-ri on the border with New Taipei City, as well as government agencies, high school vocational and lower schools, and public markets where the garbage is collected by cleaning teams. It has not yet been extended to ordinary households. Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that Taoyuan City will comprehensively promote this policy after the election. Opponent Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate Huang Shijie has also raised many doubts about the policy, and argued in his political opinion that bag collection should not be implemented if social consensus is not reached.
From time to time, there are rumors on the Internet that Taoyuan city will promote "garbage collection by bags" after the election.

When asked whether garbage collection by bags would be extended to ordinary households, he emphasized three times during the interview, "This is a false issue. After being re-elected, we will not consider this and will not introduce bag collection for ordinary households. This is very certain."

When interviewed, Zhang Shanzheng said that he believed that his opponent was pursuing a false issue and that he would not consider this or push it at all after being re-elected. He went on to reiterate that he would not introduce baggage collection for ordinary households and would not do so after taking office. This is very certain.
With more than 20 days left in the election campaign, Zhang Shanzheng has been intensively sweeping streets and night markets recently. He said that he has been to several markets and he is very touched by the enthusiasm of the people. In recent years, the city government has worked hard to improve traditional markets, and people and vendors should feel it.
Councilor Ling Tao, who accompanied the street sweepers, said that when sweeping the streets, he saw changes in the market environment, which was more comfortable and cleaner, and everyone's business was getting better and better. In addition, voters should also be reminded not to go out to vote because they think they are stable or won the polls, like Zhu Lilun in New Taipei in the past When he was running for mayor, he won more than 20% in the polls, but narrowly won by more than 1% in the final poll. This is the best example. Former county magistrate Wu Zhiyang was greatly affected by this. Please vote in the final vote to truly support Zhang Shanzheng's re-election.
Zhang Shanzheng also said, "If you don't come out to vote, no matter how many polls you take, they will be false!" Although the current polls are promising, no one knows until the end. Especially among voters who are determined to vote, his lead is not that optimistic. He still calls on everyone to have a sense of crisis, "As long as you support our achievements in the past four years, you must come out and vote."
