When there is a big illegal dumbster, it would be trivial to stop it from growing.
One police patrol car(or a camera) and one serious fine would stop it. And it did indeed stop most of it. It used to be common, but is not anymore here in germany, because people like me really get upset about that shit and so there is that anger energy that makes the institutions act.
If no one cares, than the dumbsters would just grow again.
How do you explain that in other countries this works? Garbage is dumped by humans, it's not a natural catastrophe. All those policies and cultural values you are mentioning converge to the fact that outside Taipei there are huge dumpsters, while in other countries there are not. Why there are in Taipei, it's not for me to judge, you probably know much better the situation. But the reality is, again, in other countries these dumpsters are not there. You can accept the fact, like the culture you mention seems to do, or try to move something in your (perceived) right direction. Either way, I'm definitely not the cause why there are dumpsters outside Taipei.
