Abstract
The municipal solid waste management system collects waste from the source to the final treatment site called landfill. The Yogyakarta Special Province has several landfills, one of which is Piyungan landfill, which serves three administrative areas, Yogyakarta City, Sleman and Bantul Regency. As a regional landfill, Piyungan has an area of 12.5 ha with 3 working zones, operationalized since 1995, estimated with the operational time 20 years. So that 2015 should landfill have been closed, but due to the degradation of waste until 2018 landfill is still used. Therefore, an evaluation mechanism is needed to show the existing condition in the field. Using the checklist method, using questionnaires and interviews and utilizing other secondary data. This method consists of five parts and has an assessment criteria in each component obtained assessment of facilities and infrastructure facilities of 2.25 (good category), while 1.68 for operational technical aspects (very good category). Overall Piyungan landfill evaluation scored 1.96 (good category). However, efforts are needed to ensure that the various facilities can be used properly so that the implementation and sustainability can work well.
Highlights
Statistical data presentation of Yogyakarta Special Province (DIY Province) shows that population growth rate of 2000-2010 in Yogyakarta increased by 1.04% [1], with the highest increase in Sleman Regency and the lowest in Yogyakarta City [2]
This study aims to evaluate the suitability level of waste management in Piyungan landfill in terms of technical and operational aspects based on the checklist method as an evaluation method of waste management in landfill

Summary
Statistical data presentation of Yogyakarta Special Province (DIY Province) shows that population growth rate of 2000-2010 in Yogyakarta increased by 1.04% [1], with the highest increase in Sleman Regency and the lowest in Yogyakarta City [2]. Population growth is proportional to the increase in the amount of waste, due to the various activities undertaken by humans. This rapid increase is incessant that in 2017, DIY Province has a potential waste production of 11,996 m3/day or 2,953 tons/day [3,4]. Given this disconcerting fact, it is necessary to balance the rapid growth of waste with good waste management in order to avoid damage and environmental pollution problems. This concept has the potential to cause various problems related to technology and ends up with financing [3]
