It is well known that waste spoiled are undesired and one of the main causing
of environmental problems and health effects. In Thailand, there are growing wastes
especially at Thewarat market every year. The causes of the increase in wastes are
from economic and industrial expansion which are important issues for the
community responsible to manage and correct the amount and types of waste
disposed properly before disposal. In the study, a preliminary survey by talk and
providing the questionnaires were conducted at the Thewarat market. It was found
that solid wastes or rubbishes are mostly generated during and after trading process
with and without proper can disposal. The stores did commonly dump the solid and
liquid wastes around the stores or nearby the bin not inside the bin. The unpleasant
observations shown were the solid wastes and dirty water contaminating into the
soil and in the waterway and it was not managed hygienically. Uncared by
unconcerned sellers during busy market during the day, more unrecognized attitudes
of the merchants themselves, inappropriate placement of food and food waste in the
public for the buyers, and manucipal wastes generated by people in the surrounding
community were normally observed daily. More risks of disease spreading and
accumulated rodents, insects and pathogens breeding and homing were appeared
during at night after the market closed.
In the research, the campaign and suggestions were operated by the research
team, the proposed strategies for the waste management at Thewarat market area
were including two times of training; discussions and 2 leaflets. These sessions were
based on the education on proper waste management, highlight on the proper use of
right trash bin with the right waste, post-sales area management, and the use of
microorganisms for the production of bio-fertilizers and bio-fermented solution
from biodegradable waste in the market community. Moreover, the monitoring
communities were done for the proper use of trash bin in the community and
providing the right waste management. It could bring the benefits to the community
at the initial level, especially the realization and attitudes in the suitable waste
management since approximated 10% shops keep their shops and area nearby clean
