According to the results, it is clear that a good environmental p olicy has an impact on solid waste management. The results allow concluding that the environmental policies implemented in the entity are regular because environmental legislation is unknown or not adequately applied, and there is no good environmental education. In addition, there are deficiencies in environmental practices, so it can be said that solid waste management is regular because there is no planning, organization and control of the activities to be carried out in the entity concerning solid waste management, so an excellent environmental policy affects solid waste management and the municipality will be able to manage solid waste more efficiently through environmental policies.
