<![CDATA[Household organic waste management and yard utilization in Mojorayung Village, Wungu District, Madiun Regency have not been optimally implemented, indicating the need for a practical household-based empowerment model. This study aims to improve community knowledge and skills in managing organic waste and utilizing household yards productively through the Mojorayung BISA program. The activities were conducted in July 2025 using a participatory action-based approach consisting of preparation, education, implementation, monitoring–evaluation, and initial replication stages. Program evaluation was carried out by measuring compost technical parameters and administering pre-tests and post-tests to 30 participants. The results showed an increase in the average score from 75.0 to 83.7 (an increase of 8.7 points), indicating improved understanding of organic waste management and yard utilization. The implementation of the Takakura composting method using approximately 9 kg of organic waste produced about 5.4 kg of mature compost within ±3 weeks, characterized by a temperature decrease from 36–40°C to 26°C and a pH increase from 3.5 to 7. The compost produced was utilized for tomato and chili cultivation and supported the production of organic pesticide made from lemongrass. These findings indicate that the integrated household-level circular model is technically feasible, participatory, and potentially replicable in communities with similar socio-environmental characteristics.]]>
