Household organic waste management in Kuala Semundam Village remains suboptimal, indicating the need for alternative waste utilization based on local resources. This community service activity aimed to utilize household organic waste to produce Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) as part of the implementation of a circular economy. The activity consisted of socialization, demonstration, mentoring, hands-on practice, monitoring, and evaluation. The main activity was conducted on July 7, 2026, involving 23 participants, while LOF production practice was carried out with a farmer as a pilot partner. The results showed that 14 days of fermentation produced a dark brown color and a sweet-sour odor. A limited trial on chili plants showed an increase in average plant height from 7.81 cm to 9.6 cm and the number of leaves from 4 to 6 over four monitoring periods. These findings are descriptive and cannot be used to determine the effect of LOF on plant growth because no control plants were used. The activity demonstrates that household organic waste can be utilized as a raw material for LOF and has potential to support circular economy practices at the community level.
