Problems to emerge so far include inadequate storage facilities for collected recyclables, confusion about how to separate garbage, and objections to the high cost of the special trash bags. Some people have apparently resorted to dumping trash indiscriminately or packing it in among their recyclables, so there is evidently still a need for more awareness about the aims of the scheme.
但隨著垃圾回收而來的資源堆置場不敷使用，加上部分民眾因為垃圾分類複雜、垃圾袋價錢昂貴，而將垃圾隨處丟棄、或夾雜在回收物中，也顯示台北市民在垃圾減量、分類上的觀念還有待提昇。
