Waste problem has become a crucial issue in Indonesia, including in Solok area.

The method used in this educational activity is a combination of presentations, lectures, and interactive discussions with material including the concept of waste, types of waste, positive and negative impacts of waste, the importance of waste sorting, and evaluation through quiz. The results of the activity show that students have a good interest and understanding of waste management materials, especially in practical aspects such as waste sorting and recycling potential.
