Abstract

Waste is a serious problem that is often faced in today's society. This Community Service Activity was carried out in Hamlet IV, Batukarut Village, Bandung Regency. Community knowledge in Hamlet IV, Batukarut Village about waste and its management is still minimal. Supporting facilities do not help this condition. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among residents not to litter and educate them on how to sort waste. Starting from this problem, this community service activity aims to provide a solution through education on the importance of maintaining cleanliness, selecting and differentiating organic and inorganic waste and utilizing waste food so that it has economic value. The real form of this activity is in the form of assistance in providing segregated waste bin facilities.
