Based on its functional aspects, the area is divided into two, namely urban and rural areas. Problems related to solid waste are not spared from that areas. However, problem-solving solutions cannot be generalized between the two areas because of the different characteristics of the community. This study took place in Boyolali District, Central-Java, consisting of 192 rural areas and 75 urban areas. Judging from the characteristics of the population, most people in rural areas do not consider the waste management system that is already important. The main reason is the mindset of the community and applicable waste retribution. Rural communities prefer to burn all their waste on their own land rather than having to pay for waste transportation or recycle their waste. Unlike the case with people in urban areas who have followed the pattern of solid waste management carried out by the government. In addition, there are several community groups in urban areas that have begun to actively recycle waste even its still use conventional technology. Therefore, the application of smart waste management, especially smart waste recycling were already applied in districts which closed to the capital region. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
