Increasing the amount of waste generation is a problem in every city. This research aims to know the waste transportation and management system to analyze its compliance with the applicable national and local regulations in Indonesia. Demak Regency produced 208 kg/day of waste which this number represent 35.18% of waste generated in Demak Regency from domestic and non domestic sector. The waste is transported and not sorted at sources, as the same with many other cities in Indonesia. Therefore, a proper waste management system is needed for Demak Regency that includes five aspects, which include technical, institutional, financial, regulation, and community aspects. The Environmental Agency of Demak Regency is the institution in charge of waste management in Demak Regency. The analysis shows that improvements are needed to achieve appropriate waste management system in Demak Regency. Therefore, efforts should be made to improve waste management in the Regency, for example, by improving technical performance, human resources, and promoting community-based waste management in the studied area.
