This article aimed to examine the factors influencing the effectiveness of the waste management system of local administrative organizations (LAOs) in Lampang Province, focusing on the concepts and theories of waste management, public participation, and innovation. The study employed a quantitative research design, collecting data through questionnaires from 82 LAOs in Lampang Province. The results revealed that LAO size significantly influenced the effectiveness of the waste management system, with a high average score ( = 3.71). The LAO budget had a moderate impact, with an average score ( = 3.12). The readiness of materials and equipment also showed a moderate influence (x̅ = 2.92). Meanwhile, LAO personnel demonstrated a high impact on the effectiveness of the waste collection system ( = 3.76). The solid waste management process was strongly correlated with the overall effectiveness of waste management in LAOs, with a correlation coefficient of 0.864. Additionally, input factors for solid waste management, including public participation, network organizations, and innovation, were significantly related to waste management effectiveness, with a correlation coefficient of 0.45. These factors had a statistically significant effect on waste management effectiveness at the 0.05 level.
