Waste management is necessary for keeping communities clean and healthy. However, due to different cultures, standards, and attitudes, waste management systems vary across the communities they serve. One overarching theme between successful waste systems is the involvement of the community. The village of Baan Thung Noi struggles with an inefficient system, resulting in unmanaged waste within their community. Our project has investigated the causes of these issues and recommends future steps to be made by the villagers and our sponsor towards bettering their community.
