There are many problems with waste in the community, including scraps of waste all over and animals digging into the trash. This creates nuisances along with with the Municipal landfill getting full. The municipality has figured out a way to build public participation in reducing waste at the source. The municipality began to understand and explain to the locals and is trying to build a prototype house that doesn’t have a trash bin. The municipal modified the waste collection schedule with each community and mandated that that trash bins are not to be left in front of the home. When waste collection time comes, there will be music which will remind the community. This project has expanded from 1 community to 6 out of 10 communities, resulting in a reduction to one trip instead of two trips per waste collection while also reducing collection time. As a result, there has been no major complaints about garbage again and the public has participated in managing waste in their homes when in the past, they were just consumers.

Most of the villagers also have animals such as cattle, chickens, pigs in the household. In the past, the municipality received complaints from the public about the stench from manure to neighboring homes. The municipality has ideas on how to solve this problem by encouraging farmers to make biogas from manure and food scraps. The municipality borrowed the technology from the media and educational institutions to develop 3 sets of model biogas fermenter for the household. The model tested well during experiments and isn’t expensive to manufacture. The cost is 4,000 baht per set currently being released into the community. In the future, the municipality hopes to work with the provincial livestock and private companies to use pig manure to produce biogas for household use as a substitute for LPG.
