<![CDATA[The community service program in Wonosari District, Malang Regency, focuses on training in the management of organic and inorganic waste. This activity is carried out in collaboration with the Malang Waste Bank. The primary objective of the training is to enhance public knowledge about waste management methods and raise awareness of the importance of a clean environment. Based on the identified issues, this program was designed using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The PAR approach emphasizes the empowerment of the community as the primary target of the program. Under the PAR scheme, the implementing team acts as facilitators in the activities. In this program, the team applied the ADDIE method (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The results of the training proved effective, with participants’ average scores increasing from 77.5 during the pre-test to 88.3 in the post-test, indicating a significant improvement in their understanding. Additionally, a satisfaction survey revealed high levels of satisfaction, particularly in the aspects of material completeness, ease of understanding, and interaction with the facilitators. The impact of this training is expected to encourage the community to be more active in managing waste in their own environments, including through the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) introduced during the program. This approach aims to foster a shift in mindset, encouraging the community to view waste as a potential resource rather than mere trash, thereby reducing its negative environmental impact. Overall, this program contributes significantly to building a sustainable culture of environmental care in Wonosari District.]]>
