The objectives of this study were to study community waste under the circular economy concept of local administrative organizations (LAOs). This study used qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews with 15 key informants. This study also used purposive and stratified sampling, and the data were analyzed by using analytic induction and content analysis. The results showed that few people segregate the waste, while organizations promote waste segregation and try to bring the circular economy concept to operations under the 3R concept of reduce, reuse, and recycle, and they emphasize household waste segregation for sale and recycling of garbage so that households can earn income for family expenses. In addition, LAOs also encourage waste bank projects to be set up as places to collect and buy garbage from households, and they encorage households to compost their own fertilizer and to make biogas from food scraps. So, implementation circular economy into waste management activities increased household incomes and reduce cost of Living.
