Program Pengelolaan dan Pemisahan Sampah Organik dan Anorganik yang Berada di Sekolah Dasar Kota Serang

Abstract

The problem of waste is a global issue that continues to increase and has a significant impact on the environment and public health. In Indonesia, awareness of good waste management still needs to be improved, especially among young people. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the waste education program and waste management learning implemented by KKM Unsera at SDN 1 Dalung, Serang City. This program is based on a participatory and interactive approach, involving students directly in activities to introduce types of waste, sort waste, and simple recycling efforts. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the program show an increase in understanding and awareness of SDN 1 Dalung students regarding the importance of proper waste management. Students appear more enthusiastic in disposing of waste in its place according to its type and show interest in participating in waste reduction activities in the school environment. The success of this program indicates that early education is crucial in forming environmentally conscious behavior. Collaboration between universities and basic education institutions has great potential to create a generation that is more responsible for the environment.
