Organic waste management, particularly food waste, remains a major challenge in improving environmental sanitation in Indonesia. Approximately 60% of waste generated in Indonesia consists of organic waste, which has the potential to pollute the environment if not properly managed. The utilization of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, commonly known as maggots, has emerged as an effective solution through the bioconversion process of organic waste. The Magomas program aims to improve participants’ knowledge and skills in managing organic waste effectively and sustainably through maggot cultivation. This community service program was conducted at PLTU Banten 3 Lontar using educational, training, and mentoring methods in maggot cultivation practices. The activities included delivering educational materials, demonstrating maggot egg hatching, and practicing organic waste processing using maggot cultivation media. After the community service activities were carried out, 20 grams of hatched maggot eggs successfully processed 48 kg of food waste, producing 13 kg of residual waste. The maggots produced were utilized as aviary animal feed and were also distributed to employees for livestock feed. The Magomas program proved effective in reducing organic waste volume while producing valuable products with economic and environmental benefits. Keyword: BSF Flies, Food Waste, Maggots
