They worked for the community under good governance, and managed the environment well by adopting the ISO 14001 environmental standard system to monitor.

Additionally, the external factors revealed that people lacked awareness of waste separation and the latent population did not participate in solid waste management. 3) The appropriate approach to solid waste management was to be a cluster of nearby local government organizations that had the same problem together to manage integrated solid waste by planning to reduce solid waste with the principle of 3 Rs; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle from turning waste to energy such as gasification, refuse derived fuel, incineration.
