COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORT TRASH TO TREASURE PROMOTING ZERO WASTE LIFESTYLE AND EFFECTIVE HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT IN NORTH BEKASI

Abstract

The Trash to Treasure project is a community-based initiative that aims to educate and raise awareness about the importance of effective waste management, the adoption of a zero waste lifestyle, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with constructivism as theory, the uses and gratification theory. The program focuses on both organic and inorganic waste and works to build partnerships with local government and private organizations. The program aims to empower the target audience, specifically the PKK organization or well-known as the Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga, to become pioneers in their families and communities in terms of waste management. Through the program, participants are introduced to composting methods such as Bokashi fertilizer and the conversion of used cooking oil into laundry soap. Additionally, the program leverages social media to raise awareness and encourage participation through digital campaigns and this program is able to create a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to waste management, which ultimately aims to minimize the negative environmental impact of waste in the community. In line with concerns regarding the Burangkeng Landfill which is already full, can this program be a solution for local residents to process their waste so that it does not only end up in a landfill
