The main problem that occurs in society today apart from basic needs is the problem of waste. This waste problem certainly needs a solution in good, effective, sustainable and long-term management. The waste issue not only occur in big cities but also in developing areas. Sumbawa Regency as one of the regions that continues to develop and grow requires optimum and long-term planning of solid waste management and systems. In 2021, the waste handled in Sumbawa Regency will only be around 17.5% of the total waste. This shows that the waste management system in Sumbawa Regency is not optimal. Optimal waste management can be achieved by taking an academic approach through model development. One such model is the dynamic system model. This can describe the causal relationship between variables that affect solid waste problems and to provide an overview of the waste management system through simulations based on the factors that influence the processing model. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an optimization model for waste management specifically in Sumbawa Regency using a dynamic systems approach. The purpose of this study is to describe waste management in the form of an optimization model for waste management in Sumbawa Regency with a dynamic system. Optimization results show that the optimistic model yields a total of 127.01 tons/day, the moderate model yields a total of 98.23 tons/day and the pessimistic model produces 62.5 tons/day
