Improper management of waste has direct impacts on community health and disruption on environment and surroundings. To date, the available data, information and management system regarding solid waste are confined to urban area and very little is known about rural areas. Though statistics shows that only thirty percent of the Malaysian populations are residing in rural areas, its contribution towards the ecology and environment cannot be undermined as it constitutes larger part of the country. This study was conducted to explore the current solid waste management practices and the impacts, and identify the issues and problems in solid waste management in rural area. The final objective is to develop a solid waste management framework for rural area based on community participative approach. The scope of the study covers only the rural areas specifically in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. The study employed qualitative and quantitative data gathering strategies that were survey, interviews and case study. Generally, results of this study indicate that overall level of knowledge on proper solid waste management methods among the rural community in the state of Kedah is at the moderate level. However, data revealed that the majority of the respondents realised the need to have a systematic solid waste management system and perceived that there is improper waste disposal issue in their residential area. In addition, this study described the current practice of solid waste management in Malaysia and Kedah and discussed how the integration between local governments, non-government bodies and private organisations in implementing a proper solid waste management in Malaysia. Finally, this study proposed a cooperative solid waste management for rural area based on a pilot case study in a selected rural community in Kedah. However, this study only focused on Kedah rural community.
