- Abstract
Waste management pattern in RT 01 RW 02 Baleendah Village, Bandung Regency is only done by collecting and disposing of it. This problem has encouraged the “Luhur Lestari” Women Farmers Group (KWT) to reduce the waste problem as well as make it a business field to seek funds for its members because waste has both a negative and a positive impact. Handling waste and increasing its added value will be easier if the waste has been separated. However, in this location, the household waste is still mixed at the moment. This community service program (PKM) aims to increase the participation of residents in waste management as well as to increase the added value of the waste. The programs involve waste management training for the residents, the establishment of a waste bank, and maggot cultivation. The PKM programs show that the training increases residents’ participation to sort out organic and non-organic waste, and the waste bank named KWT Luhur Lestari Waste Bank is established to handle the non-organic waste. Meanwhile, organic waste is used for maggot cultivation. The maggots are fed to the local livestock such as catfish, chickens, ducks, etc. However, farmers who cultivate are still limited in number and operate on a small scale, so the use of organic waste must be increased.
