Pengelolaan Sampah Berkelanjutan di Kelurahan Mulyaharja, Kota Bogor

Abstract

Waste management has become a serious issue in Mulyaharja, Bogor. Based on initial observations, 90% of the community has not processed organic waste, 50% still dispose of used cooking oil down the drain, and 70% have limited awareness of the negative impacts of improper waste management. These conditions indicate the need to enhance community knowledge and skills in household waste segregation and processing. The activities were carried out through several stages, including identification through analysis of waste conditions in Mulyaharja, socialization and education on the importance of waste segregation and processing, hands-on training on producing eco-enzyme as a multipurpose cleaner, hands-on training on processing used cooking oil into dishwashing soap and stain remover, and hands-on training on processing plastic waste through pyrolysis to produce alternative fuel. Improving community skills in waste processing contributes to reducing unmanaged household waste and enables the production of eco-enzyme, soap, and alternative fuels. Based on the evaluation results, 80% of the community stated they were satisfied with the program, and 85% reported that the activities were beneficial. Household waste processing not only has the potential to create business opportunities but also supports the implementation of a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable products. This activity contributes to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and also contributes to enhancing the knowledge dimension of the Human Development Index (HDI) through community education and hands-on training on sustainable waste management.
