<![CDATA[Environmental cleanliness issues and the low level of hygiene and sanitation awareness among MSME actors are the main concerns in RW 07, Rancagong Village, Tangerang Regency. The absence of waste bins in each neighborhood unit has led to open burning practices that negatively impact health and the environment. Furthermore, local MSME actors lack proper knowledge of food hygiene and sanitation practices. This community service project aims to improve environmental hygiene and sanitation awareness through two main strategies, for the first is providing waste bins in each neighborhood unit and the second is about conducting participatory educational socialization on hygiene and sanitation practices targeted at MSMEs. This study employs a qualitative approach with data triangulation methods, including observation, interviews, and literature review. The results demonstrate that the provision of waste bins effectively reduces open burning habits, while the socialization significantly increases MSME actors’ awareness and knowledge of proper hygiene in food production. This program is expected to serve as an effective model for improving local environmental and public health through community empowerment.]]>
