Abstract

The increasing volume of household waste in densely populated residential areas is a major challenge for urban environmental management. Limited waste management systems and low household-level waste-sorting practices lead to the accumulation of organic waste, which could cause environmental pollution. Therefore, a sustainable waste management strategy based on community participation is needed. This community service program aims to implement and evaluate a zero-waste strategy by empowering the PKK Ecomitra group in Wage Village, Sidoarjo, through the use of appropriate technologies, including a Dekomposer Dua Sisi (Dedisi) and biopore holes, for processing household organic waste. The program was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that actively involved partners in planning, socialization, training, technology application, and evaluation. Evaluation was conducted through pretest and posttest methods on 15 indicators of participant knowledge and attitudes. The results showed a significant increase in understanding of the fermentation process, waste sorting skills, awareness of the zero-waste concept, and the use of biopore holes. The overall program achievement rate exceeded 80 percent of the set target. These results indicate that a zero-waste strategy based on collective community decisions and the application of simple technologies is effective in increasing household waste management capacity and behavior, and in supporting the achievement of SDGs 12 and 13.

Abstrak

Peningkatan volume sampah rumah tangga di kawasan permukiman padat penduduk menjadi salah satu tantangan utama dalam pengelolaan lingkungan perkotaan. Keterbatasan sistem pengelolaan sampah dan rendahnya praktik pemilahan sampah di tingkat rumah tangga menyebabkan akumulasi sampah organik yang berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan berbasis partisipasi masyarakat. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan dan mengevaluasi strategi zero waste melalui pemberdayaan kelompok PKK Ecomitra di Desa Wage, Sidoarjo, dengan memanfaatkan teknologi tepat guna berupa dekomposer dua sisi (Dedisi) dan lubang biopori untuk pengolahan sampah organik rumah tangga. Program dilaksanakan menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang melibatkan mitra secara aktif dalam tahap perencanaan, sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, serta evaluasi. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui metode pretest dan posttest terhadap 15 indikator pengetahuan dan sikap peserta. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman proses fermentasi, keterampilan pemilahan sampah, kesadaran terhadap konsep zero waste, serta pemanfaatan biopori. Tingkat capaian program secara keseluruhan melebihi 80 persen dari target yang ditetapkan. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa strategi zero waste berbasis keputusan kolektif masyarakat dan penerapan teknologi sederhana efektif dalam meningkatkan kapasitas dan perilaku pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga serta mendukung pencapaian SDGs 12 dan SDGs 13.
