<![CDATA[Open waste burning remains a common practice in rural areas, including Anggaswangi Village, Godong Subdistrict, and has the potential to cause air pollution and health problems due to smoke and harmful pollutants. This community service activity aimed to assist the Anggaswangi Village community in managing waste through low-smoke incineration technology. The method applied a participatory approach based on the rocket stove principle, namely designing a simple incinerator with proper air circulation and a smoke chimney fitted with a local herbal filter (lemongrass, betel, and lime leaves) to absorb odor and reduce smoke, combined with 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste management education. The activity involved KKN students, field supervisors, and the community from the planning, construction, to the monitoring and evaluation stages. The results show the establishment of one low smoke incinerator unit in front of the Anggaswangi Village Hall, which proved effective in reducing smoke volume and odor compared to conventional open burning, along with increased community understanding and participation in sorting and managing household waste. This technology remains a small-scale, temporary solution, so continued waste management programs at the village level are needed.]]>
