Hsinchu County Government Environmental Protection Bureau hasestablished the "Hsinchu County Environmental Protection Bureau Public Nuisance Petitions Complaints Center" in 1992, specifically dealing with citizens’ petitions, and receiving more than 400 citizens’ public nuisance petitions each year. The Center deals with general environmental pollution cases in a way of being on 24-hour stand-by, so it can exactly know the polluted problems, and quickly find effective solutions to solve and then ensure the best quality of human life. The most common petitions are "open burning" petitions, including the behaviors of burning agricultural wastes generated from farming, burning woods or flammable wastes produced by the civil construction units, burning wire and cable wastes to remove the outside plastic portion by hardware recycling industries, and burning general household garbage to reduce the amount of garbage and so on. These short-term, small-scale, highly polluted and lots of burning sources which can not be controlled by the system, will seriously affect the air quality. In addition, it often disperses harmful gases(such as dioxins) and causes smelly smell while burning, which not only damage the human health, but also have large impact on the environmental quality. Hence, It is important to strengthen the control, inspection and patrol work of any arbitrary open burning.

In addition, 10 sets of remote control and monitoring systems and 13 fake monitors have been set up to carry out monitoring matters of the hot burning zones. In the aspect of reducing straw burning, two propaganda were held to teach farmers the correct way of handling agricultural wastes, and to give 6,000 kg of organic fertilizer to farmers to avoid 180 metric tons of straw from direct burning. Also, through "Straw Recycling Platform", it help farmers solve about 26.52 tons of straw waste problem.
