<![CDATA[Waste management is one of the main challenges in sustainable development that requires regulatory support and effective policy implementation at the regional level. Blitar Regency has established Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2011 concerning Waste Management as the legal basis for implementing environmentally sound waste management. However, the effectiveness of the regulation's implementation still faces various obstacles in practice. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Blitar Regency Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2011 and identify factors that influence its effectiveness. The study uses an empirical juridical approach with qualitative methods. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies with informants consisting of Environmental Agency officials, waste management officers, waste bank managers, and the community. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that the legal substance of the Regional Regulation has comprehensively regulated waste management, but its implementation has not been optimal due to low community participation, limited facilities and infrastructure, and weak law enforcement. Based on Soerjono Soekanto's theory of legal effectiveness, successful implementation is influenced by the legal substance, law enforcement officers, supporting facilities, the community, and legal culture. This study recommends strengthening law enforcement, improving infrastructure, and empowering communities to create an effective and sustainable waste management system]]>
