The problem of household organic waste accumulation is a serious challenge in Nagari Padang Laweh, Sungai Tarab District, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra. Most residents dispose of kitchen waste directly into the surrounding environment without processing, which has an impact on pollution and health risks. Through community service activities within the Real Work Lecture (KKN) program at Padang State University in 2025, an appropriate technology called Lodong Sisa Dapur (LOSIDA) was introduced, namely an organic waste composting system using pipes/paralon as a fermentation medium. The implementation method included socialization, training, and Taman Obat Keluarga (TOGA) competitions with a participatory approach to residents. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding and skills in managing organic waste into liquid and solid compost that can be directly used to fertilize plants. LOSIDA technology has proven to be easy to implement, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and relevant for implementation in rural areas. This activity also succeeded in increasing public awareness of the importance of household-based waste management, while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially goals 11 and 13.
