Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of household waste management among residents of Neighborhood Unit (RT) 008, Mungirejo Village, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The outreach activities were conducted in August 2025 and involved local residents, community leaders, and RT/RW administrators. The program employed several approaches, including coordination with village authorities and neighborhood leaders, interactive educational sessions, practical demonstrations on waste segregation and simple household composting, and the distribution of educational materials. The activities concluded with a follow-up discussion involving the neighborhood head and key community members to initiate the establishment of a community-based waste management system.

The results demonstrated strong community participation and enthusiasm toward the waste management education provided. Residents exhibited increased awareness of the importance of segregating household waste and expressed willingness to adopt waste separation practices at the household level. Furthermore, initiatives emerged to establish a neighborhood waste bank and implement a scheduled collection system for segregated waste. However, several challenges were identified, including the limited availability of waste segregation facilities, long-standing habits of disposing mixed waste, and the need for continuous motivation to ensure consistent waste separation practices. Overall, the program established a solid foundation for developing a more structured and sustainable community-based waste management system in RT 008, Mungirejo Village.
