This study aims to address waste management challenges through counseling and training programs on household waste processing techniques. Methods include observation, training, and direct practice by the local community, particularly PKK and Karang Taruna groups. Evaluation results show improved participants' knowledge, with an average post-test score of 82.5 compared to 55 in the pre-test. However, program success is not measured solely by increased test scores, but rather by the emergence of collective initiatives, behavioral changes in waste sorting, and tangible actions taken by the community to independently process household waste. Its implementation has been proven to reduce inappropriate waste disposal practices, contribute to sustainable development and strengthen the social capital of local communities.
