The result indicates that open dumping was a typical waste management practice. The municipal solid waste in the study area was managed at 3 locations in Wattana Nakhon subdistrict municipality, Pa Rai subdistrict municipality and Aranyaprathet town municipality. Organic waste was the main source covering 72.55% of the total solid waste. The developed waste flow diagrams showed that the total solid waste dumped at the solid waste disposal sites in the area is approximately 6,770.22 tons/year, in which it is in gas form at about 640.86 tons/year and in leachate form at about 385.75 tons/year. Therefore, municipal solid waste to be treated is at 5,382.08 tons/year.
Finally, this research proposed appropriate solid waste management approaches including organic waste separation for composting and packaging waste for further recycling.
