Abstract
Waste is a problem that has been quite difficult to solve until now. This article aims to discuss community empowerment in waste management. This research method used meta synthesis which is included in the meta aggregation category. From 41 journals, 4 journals were selected that discuss community empowerment in waste management and will be compared from the perspective of empowerment approaches, waste management, and impact. The findings show that the empowerment approach will work effectively if there is collaboration with community organizations, community leaders and local government agencies and involve the entire community in its implementation. In addition, waste management in United Kingdom is carried out in an integrated manner and is assisted by official organizations initiated by the government which involve the community, while most waste management programs in Indonesia are created from community initiatives and environmental organizations. The implication of this finding is that program implementation can create community creativity in managing waste and change people's behavior in disposing of waste.
