Household waste is often ignored and thrown away, so that it can have a bad impact on the environment, but waste can be utilized if it is managed such as animal feed or fertilizer. Fertilizers produced from organic materials contain nutrients needed by plants, use for a long time does not damage the soil and is environmentally friendly so it is safe to use on plants. The purpose of community service is to provide education to residents of RT 005 about the use of organic waste as organic fertilizer so that they can increase the knowledge and understanding of residents on how to reduce the volume of waste and use it as organic fertilizer. The implementation method consists of the preparation stage, activity plan, activity implementation stage, implementation method and activity relevance. The results of the activity, namely, the socialization participants were very enthusiastic about participating in the activity, especially after being given education through the provision of materials, video screenings and simulations of making liquid organic fertilizer.
