The waste treatment of the university is based on the waste disposal law of Taiwan and complies with the ISO14001 environmental management system standard. Accordingly, the university formulate campus general waste disposal and resource recycling practices, including "Campus Resource Recycling Management Rules," "Resources and Garbage Classification and Recycling Implementation Points," and other regulations. The recycling resources implemented on campus include PET bottles, iron, and aluminum cans, aluminum foil bags, paper, waste batteries, toner cartridges, optical discs, kitchen waste, fallen leaves compost, large discarded furniture, and laboratory waste, etc. These are all recycled through recycling pipelines to avoid sending them directly to the incinerator for disposal. There are resource waste collection points set at each building and outdoor resource recycling bins set and managed by the Office of General Affairs.

Each time before the waste being transported to the recycling plant, the total weight of the waste transported shall be measured at a weighbridge, and the monthly data is collected and sent back to the Environmental Safety Center; the measure of the recyclables is based on the total weight of the recyclables collected by the recycler when the recycling is handled.
