Household organic waste remains an environmental issue, particularly in rural areas, due to improper waste management practices. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and understanding of household organic waste management through the “BIOSMART” (Biopore as a Smart Solution for Household Organic Waste Management) socialization. The activity was conducted by KKN-PM Group 10 students of STKIP Modern Ngawi in Gempol Village, Karangjati District, Ngawi Regency, on July 5, 2026, involving 34 participants consisting of members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) and Dasawisma groups. The implementation consisted of planning, educational counseling, audiovisual presentations, and hands-on practice in utilizing biopore infiltration holes. The educational materials included household organic waste management, the concept and benefits of biopore infiltration holes, suitable types of organic waste, biopore maintenance, and compost harvesting. Participants were directly involved in filling prepared biopore holes with organic waste and watering them with rice-washing water, while videos illustrating biopore construction and compost harvesting were presented to enhance understanding. The activity was carried out successfully, with participants actively engaging in discussions and practical sessions. The BIOSMART socialization provided participants with practical knowledge on household organic waste management through biopore utilization and is expected to encourage the adoption of environmentally sustainable waste management practices at the household level.
