For the puspose of increasing recycling rate of Yi Lan County, Yi Lan Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) had enhanced the promotion of the importance of waste separation, reusing and recycling to the Yi Lan citizens. To successfully improve the recycling rate of the county, EPB had focused on the results of the recycling works that local councils, schools, local communities, responsible businesses, shops, and recycling organizations had carried out. Gepec Environmental Consulting had assisted EPB in inspection to ascertain that the above bodies had complied the government regulations on implementing recycling works, establishing on-site recycling facilities, and recyclables had collected and processed by EPA authorized organizations. From July 2004 to July 2005, Gepec Consulting had found 29 responsible businesses which had not registered to the EPA for producing or importing recyclable packaging or container. In addition, within 1,213 shops in Yi Lan County that Gepec Consulting had inspected found only 16 shops did not establish on-site recycling facilities for shoppers to dispose. Furthermore, Gepec consulting had consistently visited 8 local recycling organizations as to confirm each of the organizations had followed the EPA regulations and reported the recycled statistics to the EPB correctly and timely. Gepec consulting not only provided inspection work but also assisted to rectify the faults that each organization owned. To successfully promote the importance of recycling works, succession of recycling propaganda was carried out with the project execution period. Furthermore, a recycling website had been developed to provide information on recycling news, methods, items, and knowledge. Also a search system on recycling results for Yi Lan was implemented. Moreover, a detailed recycling separation facility was planned for Yi Lan EPB.
