As June came to an end, many Taipei residents took the opportunity to clear their homes of junk while they could still do so without paying for the privilege. As a result, more garbage was disposed of during that period than on Chinese New Year's Eve, traditionally the biggest day of the year for trash collection.
六月底，許多台北市民展開家戶大清掃，將家裡可有可無的東西一律「驅逐出境」，以免新制實施後都變成「昂貴垃圾」，也造成垃圾比除夕還多的「盛況」。
