The Free Nutritious Meal Program supports child nutrition but generates food waste that requires school-level management. This community service assisted TK Spacetoon, West Bandung Regency, through a circular economy approach. The activity was conducted from 12 May to 20 June 2026 with 10 teachers and about 60 children. Baseline weighing for five school days showed 4.7 kg of food waste per day. Nine teachers completed training and evaluation. Mean knowledge scores increased from 58.3 to 86.1, while post-training skill attainment reached 85% for segregation, 75% for process control, 70% for technology operation, and 60% for product economic understanding. During a five-day monitored period, 3.8 of 4.6 kg daily food waste was processed, diverting 82.6% from direct disposal. One monitored batch produced 6.7 kg compost and 3.4 L liquid fertilizer. The activity established segregated bins, an SOP, and an environmental working group.
