This study examined if Thai society is an example of a disposable culture or not truly so. The following questions have been addressed: 1. Has the public promotion of educational messages helped people to reduce waste and engage in recycling as part of their lifestyle? 2. Does a lack of infrastructure for garbage collection have an impact on household and public trash? 3. Has the state been handing out penalties punishment, and incentives to the people to reduce the amount of garbage? 4. How much impact has the business trash collection and recycling market contributed to reducing waste? The research views Thai society as an example of struggling to rise above the image of being a disposable culture. Becoming a sustainable community takes the heart, soul, and spirit of all members involved to perform their role because being sustainable is a long-term idea for life.
