Abstract

The issue of waste in the school environment, particularly the lack of a waste sorting culture, poses a challenge in fostering environmental literacy from an early age. This community service activity aims to describe the implementation of waste management education for students of SD Muhammadiyah Sambon, Banyudono, Boyolali using interactive learning media. The method of implementing the activity uses a participatory approach with the delivery of material divided into four sessions: introduction to waste, interactive games (Maze and waste guessing), the 3R concept and Waste Bank, and the formation of Environmental Hero character. Interactive media were used to tailor the material to the psychological characteristics of elementary school students. The results of the activity showed that dividing the sessions into short segments (15-25 minutes) and using interactive game media were able to attract active participation from the students throughout the activity. Students showed good engagement during questions and answers sessions and educational games. This education has provided a basic understanding of waste sorting as the first step in forming an environmentally caring character. The success of further implementation requires follow-up in the form of providing sorted trash bins and daily habituation guidance at school.
