Optimalisasi Pengelolaan Sampah Organik melalui Pembuatan Kompos Berbasis Masyarakat di Desa Puyoh

Abstract

Household organic waste in Desa Puyoh has not been managed optimally, leading to accumulation and potential environmental pollution. This community service activity aims to improve residents' understanding and skills, particularly among members of the PKK women's group, in processing organic waste into compost. The method used was socialization and education through material presentation, direct composting demonstration, and post-activity mentoring. The activity was carried out during the Community Service Program (KKN) in Desa Puyoh, targeting PKK members and local residents. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of the benefits and methods of composting, marked by their enthusiasm during the question-and-answer session and hands-on practice. Participants also successfully practiced the basic stages of composting organic waste using simple materials and tools. This activity is expected to be an initial step toward establishing an independent habit of sorting and processing organic waste at the household level.
