澎湖縣由90幾座面積不大的島嶼組成，行政區分為一市五鄉：馬公市、澎湖西鄉、白沙鄉、西嶼鄉、望安鄉、七美鄉。當地居民生活中產生的廢棄物，如何妥善處理，成為重要的課題。目前澎湖縣每日產生的廢棄物約50噸，除了西嶼鄉、望安鄉、七美鄉就近送往掩埋場外，澎湖本島（馬公市及湖西鄉）、馬公市的離島（桶盤嶼、虎井嶼）、白沙鄉及其離島（員貝嶼、鳥嶼、吉貝嶼、大倉嶼等），在環保署的補助下，大部分的廢棄物集中到澎湖本島的垃圾轉運站，進行壓縮並裝櫃，以海運方式，轉運往高雄市岡山垃圾焚化廠處理。本研究概述澎湖縣及其離島垃圾轉運現況，並分別就適法性、經費發包、安全性及轉運效率等面向加以探討。

Penghu archipelago consists of 97 small islands with the administrative regions of one city and five townships: Magong City, Husi Township, Baisha Township, Siyu Township, Wang-an Township, and Cimei Township. How to properly deal with the waste generated by the local residents has become an important issue. Currently, the waste generated in Penghu County is about 50 tons per day. Some waste goes to nearby landfills. Most of the waste in Penghu,including Penghu island (Magong Citv and Husi Townsnip)，Magong City's offshore islands (Tong-Pan Islet and Hu-Jing Islet)，and Baisha Township's offshore islands (Yuan-Bei Islet，Bird Islet，Ji-Bei Islet，and Da-Cang Islet)，is transported to the transfer station in Penghu main-island. Then the waste is compressed，loaded into containers，and shipped to Gang-Shan waste incineration plant in Kaohsiung City. In this study，the current status of the waste transfer in Penghu and its offshore islands is discussed， and the issues of its legality， contracting， safety， and transport efficiency are also addressed.
