people who live in Bansang Sub district Municipality (Bansang Community) and 3) to find the need of Solid
waste management (eliminating Waste solid) in the future from people living in Bansang Community. In term of
this study, the researchs target group is 1,543 people aged between 1870 years old from 318 household a
by random sampling. The Simplified Formula proportion by Taro Yamane is used to calculate the result of this

calculated by Descriptive Statistic consists of frequency and percentage.
Regarding to the result of this research, the result is found that Waste solid problem which Bansang
Community suffering nowadays is the increasing number of landfill of waste cause d by trash, garbage and
leftover from households in the community. The main factor of this problem is that there is no accurate place
or area to eliminate solid waste. There is no officially local government taking responsibility to manage this
problem. Each day the landfill of waste is increased from garbage, trash and leftover produced in households
(12 kilograms per days for the average household). Burning solid waste is the primary method that people of
Bansang Community choose to reduce or eliminate solid waste because it is fast and convenient without
thinking of the environmental pollutions effects. Even though solid waste is eliminated, it affects the
environmental pollution. The secondary way is that separating salable waste before burning; the se parated
waste will be sold. Moreover, some of waste will be re-used to usable stuffs such as making old rubber wheel
to a flowerpot. Notwithstanding that there are many way to manage waste, most of people do not know how
to separate waste (separate garbage and trash) even the garbage can re-use to animal feed and compost.
Finally, they choose the easy and fast way to reduce waste-gathering and burning waste notwithstanding the
environmental pollution. Apart from studying the cause of solid waste problem, th e need of Solid waste
management (eliminating Waste solid) in the future from people living in Bansang Community is also found.
Most people of target group predict that solid waste problem will increase in the future; they recommend that
there must be the integration of solid waste management (Cooperation between local government and
Bansang Community). The correct way of waste separation should be instructed to people for reducing the
landfill of waste. There must be the recycle bins or waste bin in front of their houses to litter waste. The other
requirements are the pollution free incinerator, outdoor waste burning, produce Bio-fertilizer and the hygienic
sanity landfill respectively. Consequently, the rule of the community is published to control of the waste
increasing and also to punish people who resist the rule or left the waste in forbidden area.
