Abstract

Household waste remains a significant environmental challenge in rural areas due to inadequate waste disposal practices and limited public awareness regarding proper waste utilization. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to enhance the knowledge, awareness, and environmental responsibility of members of the Sitampa Simatoras Village Community through the proper optimization and socialization of trash bin utilization. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of preliminary surveys, educational outreach, focus group discussions (FGD) on waste disposal, practical distribution of healthy domestic household trash bins, mentoring, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. The results indicated a substantial improvement in participants' knowledge, with average scores increasing from 42.5% before the intervention to 85.0% afterward. Participants successfully practiced waste segregation, utilized public trash bins correctly, and managed household organic residues suitable for backyard composting. The program also contributed to reducing household waste accumulation while generating environmentally clean village surroundings. Furthermore, the establishment of a community-based village waste monitoring group supported the sustainability of the initiative. The findings demonstrate that socializing trash bin utilization through participatory approaches is an effective, practical, and environmentally friendly strategy for community-based waste management and environmental conservation.
