The effectiveness and sustainable waste management consist of addressing all the vital aspects: economic, social, environmental, technological efficiency, and political willingness. In this study, the focus has been made to understand the economic, social, and environmental aspects of the Phobjikha valley waste management system in Bhutan through the use of statistical tools to analyze the data obtained through field surveys, visits, and literature reviews. The result establishes the positive evidence to support the initial understanding that there is a systemic flaw in the Phobjikha valley waste management system specifically the economic, social, and environmental aspects of the effective waste management system.
