Abstract

This article aimed to take lessons learned from the experiences of the authors who had participated in the project of a model sub-district about completely waste and residue management. That operated in Huai Rong Subdistrict, Rong Kwang District, Phrae Province, 2016. This was a multilateral development project that emphasized participation with all sectors in every process to solve the problem of the source of waste. It had conducted waste survey from 202 households in 8 villages of Huai Rong Sub-district to design a waste management training program properly with the context of the area and the community people‘s way of life that had difference in geography and ethnicity. The training program was divided into 2 groups, the first group for 48 people and the second group for 59 children and youth in the area. The lesson learned by all sectors from the project found that most people were aware of the problem and participation in waste management and they would had attend waste management training since because they did not have experience, knowledge, and skills in waste management. The survey results of household and agricultural waste found that mostly recycled waste that must be planned in separation of waste while set up sale and purchase agreements with external waste buyers.
