Abstract

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengajarkan masyarakat, terutama anggota Pimpinan Cabang Aisyiyah (PCA) Metro Utara tentang pentingnya mengelola sampah dengan baik. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk penyelenggaraan seminar dan workshop pemanfaatan sampah buangan rumah tangga. Pada kegiatan seminar tersebut, para peserta diajak mengenali jenis-jenis sampah sisa pembuangan rumah tangga, bahaya lingkungan, dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan workshop pemanfaatan sampah plastik daur ulang botol plastik bekas air mineral yang mudah ditemukan di banyak tempat. Luaran dari program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dan menghasilkan produk daur ulang yang bernilai ekonomis. Meskipun masih ada orang yang membuang sampah sembarangan, tapi program ini membantu meningkatkan kesadaran dan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam menjaga lingkungan. Penanganan masalah sampah ini dapat dilakukan secara gotong-royong bersama masyarakat melalui komunitas dengan membentuk kelompok pengelola bank sampah yang nantinya juga dapat berdampak positif pada perekonomian masyarakat. Meskipun ada tantangan seperti masalah dana dan partisipasi masyarakat, tapi ada peluang untuk mengembangkan program ini lebih lanjut melalui inovasi dan kemitraan. Program ini merupakan langkah awal yang penting untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan dengan mengelola sampah secara baik dan memberdayakan ibu-ibu anggota Aisyiyah Metro Utara untuk dapat menambah income keluarga dengan membuat barang-barang kerajinan dari sampah daur ulang.
