<![CDATA[This community service initiative aims to promote environmental sustainability through community-based waste management education. The rapid increase in urbanization and waste generation has significantly impacted the environment, necessitating effective waste management strategies at the community level. This project aimed to educate the community on waste segregation, composting, and recycling practices to foster sustainable waste management behaviors. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, this program involved local communities in identifying waste management challenges and implementing practical solutions through education and training workshops. The results revealed a significant increase in knowledge about waste management practices, with 85% of participants adopting waste segregation and composting techniques at the household level. However, challenges such as limited space for composting and the varying willingness to adopt new behaviors among different age groups were identified. The program increased environmental awareness and behavior change in the community, highlighting the importance of local leadership and community involvement. The findings emphasize the need for continued infrastructure support and tailored approaches for different demographic groups to ensure the long-term success of waste management initiatives. This initiative contributes to the broader effort of achieving environmental sustainability through grassroots-level engagement and education.]]>
