Waste is still a problem in various countries, especially developing countries. The problem of waste in big cities is different from small and medium cities. The amount of waste tends to increase along with population growth and an increase in living standards is not accompanied by the availability of adequate infrastructure, especially in waste management operations. Ponorogo Regency is one of the small cities in the province of East Java that has failed for 4 consecutive years to win Adipura because of poor evaluation on aspects of waste management. This study aims to examine the availability of infrastructure, especially technical waste management operations in small cities with a case study in Ponorogo Regency. The results show that in 2026 the projected population of Ponorogo Regency is 147,519 people with a volume of garbage generation of 442,556 m 3 /day. The amount requires availability of 246 units of carts, 16 units of dump truck, 71 units of containers at the transfer station, as well as the expansion of Mrican landfills to 5.4 hectares.
