<![CDATA[Waste management at MAS Alkhairat Ternate still faces limitations in sorting practices, habit formation, and the use of economically valuable inorganic waste. This community service program aimed to strengthen students’ environmental literacy and basic economic literacy through waste-to-value education. The activity was conducted on May 8, 2026, involving 56 students through five stages: socialization, training, simple technology application, mentoring and evaluation, and sustainability reinforcement. Data were collected using a post-activity questionnaire consisting of 20 closed statements on a 1–5 scale and two open-ended questions. Descriptive analysis used frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and thematic grouping. A total of 69.6% of participants had never attended waste-management education before. The average positive response reached 93.1% for knowledge and awareness, 92.9% for attitudes and behavior, and 98.6% for implementation evaluation. Knowledge that waste has economic value reached 98.2%, willingness to participate reached 94.6%, and interest in joining a school waste bank reached 78.6%. All participants considered the activity beneficial and expected program continuation. The program produced strong educational outcomes, while routine adoption, sorting facilities, record keeping, and waste-bank transactions require further mentoring. ]]>
