SCHOOL BASED DISEASE FREE WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE

Abstract

The objective of this Community Service program is to improve the knowledge and skills of the school community, particularly the principal, teachers, and staff of SMP N 6 Koto XI Tarusan, particularly in waste management, thereby generating benefits, both in terms of health and environmental aesthetics, as well as the economic environment. To achieve this goal, the Community Service program is implemented through the following methods: 1) visiting target partner schools to conduct outreach on waste management; 2) providing simulations on how to process waste based on its type, both organic and inorganic; and 3) coordinating with target partners to strengthen and encourage waste management within the school environment. The final outcomes achieved are increased knowledge and support from school administrators (principals, teachers, and staff) in the school-based waste management program; and increased knowledge, positive attitudes, and skills of students in the school-based waste management process.
