Public Landfill and Waste Transfer Facility Operation Management Information System
To supervise implementation agencies' proper operation and management of public landfills, ensure the work division of Article 5 of the "Waste Disposal Act," and easily manage individual landfill's information, the Environmental Mangement Administration built the "Public Landfill and Waste Transfer Facility Operation Management Information System" in 2011. The system effectively manages Taiwan's public landfill and waste transfer facility operation management status, including basic information, management status, waste treatment capacity, and live images. Landfill management units regularly report operational information, allowing for effective supervision and management of Taiwan's public landfill operation management performance, thus enhancing the efficiency of administrative management. This is also used as a reference for policymaking, facilitating the planning of waste dispatch and facility improvement.

Household Waste Management System
Due to the need for interdepartmental work and consolidation and the dispersion of relevant historical reporting or key data in various information management systems, household waste management information tracking and consolidation became increasingly difficult, adding to implementation agencies' data reporting burdens. Aside from continuously reviewing, studying, and reinforcing consolidated management yearly with focus on garbage sorting and source reduction, the planning and building of the Household Waste Management System structure is now completed. Regulations for supporting management works have been formulated while works such as negotiation, coordination, and education are conducted to consolidate the management of various works as well as build a single reporting portal and information publishing channel.

Recycled-Aggregate Management System (RAMS)
To reinforce control on and ensure the implementation of the overall incineration recycled aggregate flow management policy, the Ministry of Environment established the “Recycled-Aggregate Management System” (RAMS) in 2017. The system keeps a strict control on incineration recycled aggregate quality, usage, and usage location, transforming incineration bottom ash from waste that was simply disposed in landfills in the past into the valuable circular economic product of incineration recycled aggregate.Currently, it is widely used in various road infrastructure projects, and cement products such as bricks and Jersey barriers, cement raw meal, and harbor area reclamation. Through the resource recycling of incineration recycled aggregate, it can replace natural gravel as a construction material, providing economic benefits.

Solid Waste Incinerator Management System (SWIMS)
The "Solid Waste Incinerator Management System" (SWIMS) is established to effectively monitor and manage the monthly operations of Taiwan's large-scale incineration plants. These facilities are required to submit regular operational data, which serves as a key reference for formulating national waste management policies.In alignment with the ministry's auditing and evaluation framework for waste treatment facilities and their associated environmental protection agencies, SWIMS provides operational guidance to improve efficiency, stabilize the nation's waste treatment capacity, and facilitate the flexible allocation and proper disposal of waste across municipalities. These measures are instrumental in advancing the vision of a comprehensive circular economy.

Waste Dumping Management System (WDMS)
To enhance case data management and effectively consolidate the capacities of environmental protection agencies at all levels, the original "Waste Illegal Disposal Site Query and Reporting System" has been restructured into the "Waste Dumping Management System" (WDMS). Additionally, regulations such as the "Reference Procedures for Clearing Waste on National or Public Land" and "Procedures for Clearing Waste Dumped on Private Land" have been issued, while procedures are established for managing sites with unidentified waste dumping, which includes critical steps like site registration and listing, site investigation, site patrol, and waste cleanup tracking. This improves the efficiency of managing waste disposal site cases, facilitating the query of cases for various units to keep track of site details and case progress, thus enabling the Environmental Management Administration to comprehensively monitor all illegal dumping cases.
