Even in the vast United States there are sometimes "wars between the states" over waste disposal. In Taiwan, which has an area of just 36,000 sq. km. yet churns out more than 18,000 tons of trash a day, finding places for burial sites that don't enrage the neighboring populace is even tougher.
別說幅員遼闊如美國時常發生「州」際垃圾戰，面積只有三萬六千平方公里的台灣，面對每天源源而來的一萬八千多噸垃圾，更使原來的芳鄰為了它反目成仇。
