Abstract

The increasing intensity of trading activities in urban areas contributes to higher waste generation and environmental problems in traditional markets. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge, awareness, and participation in waste management at Karang Jasi Traditional Market, Cakranegara District, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara. The program was conducted in May 2026 and involved 30 participants, consisting of market traders, cleaning staff, and market managers. The methods included field observation, interviews, environmental education, waste-sorting demonstrations, and participatory discussions. The results showed that waste management in the market still faces several challenges, including limited waste disposal facilities, inadequate waste segregation practices, and inconsistent waste collection schedules. The waste generated was predominantly organic waste, such as vegetable residues, fruit waste, and food scraps, which have the potential to be utilized through composting activities. Following the educational and assistance activities, participants demonstrated improved understanding of the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and showed positive responses toward environmental improvement efforts. The program indicates that educational and participatory approaches can effectively enhance community awareness and support sustainable waste management practices in traditional market environments.
