Organic waste management in Jatiurip Village, Probolinggo Regency, is still dominated by open burning, so the potential of organic waste as a resource has not been utilized optimally. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of residents and the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) managers in utilizing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae to process organic waste. The activity consisted of initial assessment, coordination, socialization, training, cultivation practice, mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. The results show that participants gained direct experience in sorting organic materials, preparing rearing media, maintaining larvae, and harvesting. The pilot cultivation unit produced approximately 2 kg of maggots in the initial cycle. The harvested maggots can be utilized as an alternative feed ingredient, while the residual frass can potentially be used as organic fertilizer. The activity provides an initial model of bioconversion-based waste management that can be further developed by BUMDes on a sustainable basis.
