The lack of sorting facilities and village-level management systems has led residents to manage waste individually through burning, burying, or disposing of it into rivers, all of which adversely affect health and the environment. This community service initiative aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of partners in sustainable household waste management through the establishment of a waste bank. The methods employed included socialization using PowerPoint presentations, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and practical training. The target participants were 21 members of the local Family Welfare Movement (PKK). Activity evaluation was conducted by comparing pre-test and post-test scores via a 10-item questionnaire, supplemented by observations during the training sessions. Success indicators were defined by an increase in knowledge and the ability of the waste bank management team to execute operational stages. Results demonstrate that the program successfully improved waste management knowledge, with average scores increasing by 13.45%, alongside a 41% enhancement in the partners' capacity to manage the waste bank. The establishment of the waste bank and eco-enzyme training serve as tangible solutions for the community to address waste-related issues in Batan Village.]]>
