Abstract

Waste management must be the responsibility of citizens and the government. The government's task is to activate citizen participation up to household level by having sufficient knowledge e.g. socialization of 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) in handling the waste. The Reduce is about the impact of waste on life by that the community minimizes the use of goods that can produce waste. The reuse concept is about to utilize waste for other uses. The Recycle is about to recycle the waste to other goods e.g. by composting to produce fertilizer in a small space, simple equipment, and very low costs. Compost production by using a composter bag sprayed by composter fluid is called as the artificial compost. To introduce the system to the community, the training on how to make deal with it is pursued in RT.33 RW.8, Sawah Lebar Village, Bengkulu City, involving the local administrators and housewives. The method is learning by doing under supervising of a community service team of the Engineering Faculty Universitas Bengkulu.

Coconut shell waste has not been utilized into useful ones. Its condition is a potential problem for the environment. Coconut shells can be made into charcoal using a retort. Training on making charcoal from coconut shells in a retort furnace was given to community groups in Sawah Lebar Baru, Bengkulu City. The activity includes several stages: observation, preparation, implementation and evaluation of the activities carried out. The implementation involved lecturers and students from the Mechanical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, University of Bengkulu. Participants from the community were quite helped by the presence of students so that they were very enthusiastic and played an active role during the activity. At the evaluation stage, an assessment was given to participants in two stages, pre-test and post-test.
