Household waste remains a persistent environmental challenge in many communities, including Sawah Lama Subdistrict, Bandar Lampung City, Indonesia. Limited public awareness regarding waste prevention, segregation, and processing has contributed to waste accumulation, environmental pollution, and public health risks. This community engagement program aimed to enhance public awareness and participation in household waste management through educational activities on waste prevention, segregation, and processing. The program was implemented using an educational and participatory approach that included presentations, hands-on demonstrations, waste segregation practices, and community assistance in managing household waste. In addition, the program was supported by the provision of waste collection facilities and collaboration with local waste management authorities. The results indicated an improvement in community understanding of the importance of proper waste management, as well as increased public participation in disposing of and segregating waste according to its type. This program is expected to contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment while promoting sustainable waste management practices in Sawah Lama Subdistrict.
