COVID-19: Taipei garbage collectors urge short halt to recycling By Tsai Ya-hua and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer Garbage collectors in Taipei have called for a temporary halt to recycling collection, citing concerns that disposable cups and containers could be a source of COVID-19. The Taipei Department of Environmental Protection has received a request from its workers’ union to halt the collection of recyclables during the heightened pandemic alert level, the Taipei City Government said. However, the agency said workers should wear N95 masks and protective clothing if they are concerned, the city government said. “We provide frontline collection workers with rubber gloves, medical-grade masks, protective eyewear and plastic face guards,” agency Deputy Commissioner Lu Shih-chang (盧世昌) said.
