This research aimed to study relevant factors and to propose strategies for waste reduction and separation management (WRSM) of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Data were collected through document research, participatory observation, and interviewing BMA’s relevant administrators and officers. The data were analyzed by SWOT analysis for factors analysis, TOWS matrix for strategies formulation, and Input-Process-Output: I-P-O model for proposing an appropriate system of WRSM. The findings revealed that the internal factors consist of concrete plans and strategies, appropriate administrative structure, waste reduction and separation was stipulated as an important policy by the Bangkok governor, clear assignment of responsible personnel, personnel development, integrated solid waste management, law enforcement, and shared value creating for BMA’s officers. The external factors consist of concrete government’s policy, responsibility for waste management of manufacturers, strength of recycling business, knowledge and awareness of people on waste separation and value of waste, public and private partnership, communication technology, and the development of law on WRSM. The proposed strategies include Bangkok agenda announcement on waste management, building cooperation network of government agencies and private sector, promoting recycling business, improving waste separation collection system, raising knowledge and awareness of the public on the value of recyclable materials and waste separation, personnel development, and serious law enforcement
