Household waste management in Kahuman Village, Ngawen Subdistrict, Klaten Regency still faces challenges, including a lack of public understanding regarding waste sorting and limited sorting facilities in residential areas. This community service initiative aims to raise public awareness about the importance of sorting household waste through outreach to PKK members and the distribution of sorted waste bins. The activity was conducted through outreach sessions and interactive discussions on the types and sorting of organic and inorganic waste, followed by the provision and placement of sorted waste bins at specific locations in each neighborhood unit (RT). The results of the activity showed an increase in participants’ understanding of how to distinguish between organic and inorganic waste, active participation during the activity, and the availability of facilities that support waste sorting practices. In addition, an awareness and initial habit of disposing of waste according to type began to emerge among the community. This activity demonstrates that integrating education with the provision of facilities can serve as a first step in raising awareness and promoting sustainable household waste sorting.
