Abstract: 
Community empowerment in waste management is important to implement in the attempt of solving waste-related problems. Nowadays, waste management is directed not only to the goal of environmental value but also to exert impact on economic value. Nevertheless, public participation is often still so low that empowerment attempt should be encouraged more strongly. This research aims to describe and analyze the waste management through Waste Bank in Paju Village, Ponorogo Regency, from empowerment, participation, and economic value. This study is a descriptive qualitative research. Techniques of collecting data used in this research were interview, observation, documentation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data triangulations employed in this research were source and method triangulations. Creswell’s qualitative analysis model was also used in this research. The result shows that waste management through Manunggal Karso Waste Bank in Paju Village, Ponorogo Regency is still inhibited with low community participation. Nevertheless, economic value has been seen from various recycled products produced by the members. Socialization should be reinforced in the future and programs designed should be improved and maintained for its sustainability.
