Plastic bottle waste is an environmental problem that continues to increase along with rising community consumption, while public awareness of recycling remains low. This community service program, implemented through a service learning approach, aims to reduce the volume of plastic bottle waste in Muara Basung Village while fostering community creativity and mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in welcoming the 81st Indonesian Independence Day. The method included socialization, collection and processing training, and hands-on construction of an inverted U-shaped decorative gate installed on the village's main road. Results show the program successfully mobilized cross-generational participation from 350 elementary and 120 junior high school students, PKK members, and residents; collected and processed approximately 1,200 used plastic bottles; and produced a gate that now serves as both a decorative icon for the independence celebration and an ongoing environmental education medium, indicating that the program's objectives were achieved.
