The urban waste management system in Indonesia, which still relies on an end-of-pipe solution, using the open dumping on Final Processing Site method is considered inappropriate because it causes several problems, including the narrowing of the landfill area and the increasing volume of waste generation. And the impact of environmental damage around the Final Processing Site due to uncontrolled waste pollution. This method encourages the city government to make efforts to handle urban waste problems more precisely. One alternative for handling waste is establishing a mobile-based installation of information management technology with community-based waste management to maintain and restructure a controlled environmental ecosystem. In this work, the information management method directly touches the community as users of handheld devices, namely mobile devices based on Android and IOS, which are empirically very close to the community. Based on the sample survey results on the use of the management method, to test its effectiveness. It is a model of one Ward in one city with a total of 6 community units and 50 neighborhood units with 2,975 houses was taken 10% as a qualitative survey sample with an average effectiveness result of the use method about 87% percent to improve the existing conventional waste management. Thus this method provides an effective solution to the current methods that occur in urban areas in Indonesia.
