These problems include redundancies of municipal waste management laws, the difficulty of determining community solid waste management fees, and the problem of determining the duty of municipal solid waste disposal. The authors propose solutions to the problem, including: Firstly, enacting the unified form of waste management law and repealing duplicated provisions relating to waste management laws. Secondly, establishing the national waste management organization to create national policies, enact related regulations, help, advise and supervising of community waste management in accordance with hygiene and environmental standards. Thirdly, The government should provide assistance or subsidies budget to local administration organization for addressing the initial waste management. And finally, the government should help or provide a subsidy budget for the local administration organization in order to establish the collection, transfer, transport and dispose. Moreover, the law should assign duty to the Provincial Administrative Organizations, a large and ready local government organization, to act as a municipal solid waste disposal agency in an area where the local administrative organization is unable to dispose of waste by itself.
