Another thing that drives the increase in the amount of waste in urban areas is changing trend rapidly of clothing, which contributes to the increase in the amount of clothing waste. This condition prompted the Amikom team together with the Bener Faskel, Head of Bener Village, the BERAMAL (Environmentally Friendly) management, the Head of the Citizens Association and the Chair of the Pokja IV PKK to make waste management innovations. The purpose of this activity is to solve the problem of clothing waste to improving the quality of the environment. The result of this community activity is a training activity to convert clothing waste into crochet bags and wallet. The output of this community activity is increasing the skills of the waste bank administrators to turn clothing waste into more useful goods.
