Abstract

High volume of organic waste may decrease the quality of the environment. This research is done in order to manage organic waste recycling to support Green Campus at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). This exploratory and action research is carried out at the Botanical Garden UPI, within four months. Participants including lecturers (3), students (30) and non-academic staffs (4) contributed in waste recycling programs. These programs of recycled organic waste produced dried maggot, liquid fertilizer, organic compost and eco-enzyme. Organic waste were collected from FPMIPA UPI as a pilot project. The results showed that 1 kg of fresh organic waste produced 4 L of eco-enzyme (within.

3 months), 1 kg of organic waste produced 2 L of liquid fertilizer (within 1 month), 1 kg of organic waste produced 0.5 kg of organic compost (within 1 month) and 4 kg of organic waste produced 1 kg of dried maggot (within 2 month). Therefore, 2 kg of organicwaste produced daily from one Faculty (1500 stakeholders civitas academy) may be not be an environmental problem. However the understanding and awareness of environmental education in practices is still low among the students. It is suggested, that promotion and socialization of environmental practices and regulation policy in high level of awareness are implemented, in order to support Green Campus.
