<![CDATA[Household organic waste remains a significant environmental challenge in rural areas due to limited community participation in sustainable waste management practices. This community service program aimed to enhance community knowledge and awareness of household organic waste management by applying Biopore Infiltration Holes (BIHs) in Selengen Village, North Lombok Regency. The program integrated community education with hands-on BIH installation, providing a participatory approach that directly engaged residents in learning and practice. The activities involved 35 participants, predominantly housewives, followed by the installation of 13 biopore infiltration holes across five hamlets: Perigi, Tangga, Dompu Indah, Tampes, and Selengen. The implementation was characterized by active community participation during educational sessions, installation, and maintenance activities, indicating strong community acceptance of the program. The combination of educational outreach and practical field implementation represents the program's key strength, enabling participants to immediately apply the knowledge gained in managing household organic waste. The program helped improve community awareness and skills in environmentally friendly organic waste management while promoting the adoption of biopore technology as a simple, sustainable household waste management practice. These results demonstrate that a participatory community-based approach effectively strengthens local capacity for organic waste management and supports the long-term sustainability of environmental conservation initiatives at the village level.
