Latar belakang: Pengelolaan sampah merupakan permasalahan penting yang harus diprioritaskan oleh pemerintah mengingat pertumbuhan penduduk yang cukup masif yang berimplikasi pada meningkatnya volume sampah yang dihasilkan. Implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah di Kota Binjai masih belum optimal yang diindikasikan peningkatan volume sampah tiap tahunnya. Studi ini bertujuan mengevaluasi implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga dan sampah sejenis sampah rumah tangga di Kota Binjai.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Penentuan subjek penelitian menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari kepala UPTD Pengolahan Sampah dan TPA Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Binjai, kepala sub bagian umum dan kepegawaian Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Binjai, dan 2 orang fasilitator lapangan UPTD Pengolahan Sampah dan TPA Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Binjai sebagai informan triangulasi. Adapun variabel yang diteliti adalah komunikasi, sumberdaya, disposisi dan struktur birokrasi. Dalam menggumpulkan data, peneliti melakukan wawancara mendalam, pengamatan langsung dan studi dokumen. Data dianalisis dengan model interaktif berupa analisis kualitatif yang disajikan dalam bentuk deskriptitif dan narasi yang menyertainya.Hasil: Pada studi ini ditemukan hambatan implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga di Kota Binjai antara lain tidak adanya peraturan daerah yang spesifik mengenai pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga dan berakibat pada ketersediaan anggaran. Dukungan pimpinan yang kurang untuk menjadikan program ini sebagai program prioritas menjadi kendala lainnya. Sumber daya manusia yang tersedia secara kuantitatif cukup namun secara kualitatif sangat kurang, serta masih banyak sumber daya yang kurang produktif dalam menjalankan tugasnya.Simpulan: Implementasi pengolahan sampah rumah tangga menghadapi hambatan dari sisi regulasi pendukung, anggaran dan SDM yang kurang memadai, dan minimnya dukungan pimpinan. Dengan berbagai hambatan tersebut, penting bagi stakeholder untuk memprioritaskan penyusunan peraturan daerah pendukung kebijakan strategi nasional pengolahan sampah rumah tangga (Jakstranas) agar pelaksanaan kegiatan memiliki payung hukum yang jelas. Selain itu, penempatan SDM yang kompeten dan sesuai keahliannya dapat membantu mengatasi hambatan teknis pelaksanan kegiatan di lapangan.
