Primary legal materials, namely statutory regulations and official documents containing legal provisions, while secondary legal materials are materials that provide explanations related to primary legal materials. The results obtained in this study indicate that a few factors causing pollution of the river is the lack of awareness of local residents who still throw garbage into the river, as it has an impact on the water quality, public health, damage to the ecosystem around the river and impact on social and economic losses. The regulations that have been issued and implemented by the government to reduce pollution in the Ciliwung River, one of which is the Undang-Undang (UU) Nomor 18 Tahun 2008 tentang Pengelolaan Sampah regulating the waste management in Indonesia.
