This research article aims to examine the knowledge and behavior of employees at a business establishment located in Tha Kham Subdistrict, Bang Khun Thian District, Bangkok, with regards to refuse separation. The study utilized a sample of 161 employees who are currently employed at the business establishment. Using a straightforward random sampling method and Krejcie and Morgan's table, the proportion of the sample group was ascertained. "Selection" or non-probability sampling was implemented. One of the instruments utilized in this study is a post-training knowledge assessment. In order to assess the waste separation behavior of the employees, comparisons were conducted between waste volume surveys conducted prior to and subsequent to their training. There was also a comparison of the quantity of sellable refuse prior to and subsequent to the training program. The study revealed that the organization's personnel possess a considerable degree of expertise and comprehension regarding refuse segregation. The results of the waste volume survey revealed a reduction in waste volume and an increase in sellable waste subsequent to the implementation of the project. This suggests that the employees' conduct regarding waste segregation within the organization is commendable on the whole.
