<strong>Waste</strong> pickers, people, and children sell waste or exchange their wastes with products <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Zero Baht shop. <strong>Waste</strong> pickers <strong>in</strong> community usually exchange their wastes to get their<br />

<strong>in</strong>surances, needed goods, and deposits, while other waste pickers from outsides always sell<br />

their wastes to get money. Children usually br<strong>in</strong>g their paper/books to exchange with snacks or<br />

juices.<br />

This shop sometimes exchanges their products with money because outside people do not<br />

know the system <strong>of</strong> shop. The owner always sells stored wastes <strong>of</strong> this shop to bigger waste<br />

shops such as Wongpanit (all types <strong>of</strong> wastes), Kongpongkit, and Nokpanit (PET bottle and<br />

plastics). She also sells wastes to factory nearby shop (Sukhaphiban 2 Road) that recycles<br />

wastes to products aga<strong>in</strong> e.g., Paper factory, Green Board Ltd., Co. (recycle milk/juice<br />

cartons), and Glass factory. The owner sets the middle rate <strong>of</strong> waste exchange which<br />

establishes the costs <strong>of</strong> wastes, types <strong>of</strong> wastes, and characteristics <strong>of</strong> wastes (separate waste<br />

<strong>in</strong>to each type <strong>of</strong> waste). Table C-7 shows the middle costs and types <strong>of</strong> wastes which are<br />

bought <strong>in</strong> this shop.<br />
