This study examines the effectiveness of community empowerment through ecotheology-based Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation for organic waste management in Paya Pinang Village. Through a qualitative approach utilizing field observation and technical assistance by UINSU 2026 KKN students, upgrading bioconversion facilities proved to significantly reduce household waste volume. The internalization of religious ethical values successfully fostered fundamental ecological awareness among residents, turning source-level waste sorting into a daily community habit. This biological processing of organic waste disrupts environmental pollution cycles and reduces disease vectors around residential areas. Beyond maintaining village cleanliness, harvesting protein-rich BSF larva biomass and kasgot fertilizer provided tangible economic impacts by reducing residents’ expenses for livestock feed and agricultural fertilizers. The implementation of this recycling system establishes a circular economy chain that independently strengthens rural economic resilience. Penelitian ini concludes that combining appropriate biotechnology with educational appeals based on religious values constitutes an effective strategy for achieving an environmentally friendly and sustainable waste-independent village.
