Abstract:
Garbage is anything that is no longer used, disliked, even something that must be thrown away. Lack of public awareness and knowledge regarding waste disposal and waste management will result in community participation itself in protecting the surrounding environment. This community service program was carried out at RT 03 Bunipah Village, Aluh-Aluh District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. This program is conducted online through WhatsApp groups. The goal is to increase public knowledge and insight about waste and its management in order to form awareness and good behavior for waste management. The community is expected to be able to manage waste into useful
products such as compost and crafts.
