The Community Empowerment in Managing Inorganic Recycled Waste in Tallo Subdistrict, Makassar city

Abstract

Community service activities are a continuous effort to enhance the awareness and abilities of the residents in the Pannampu Village, Tallo Subdistrict, Makassar City, in the management of inorganic recycling waste. The purpose of these activities is to identify the potential of inorganic waste within the local community, provide education on sustainable waste management practices, and teach recycling skills to encourage active community participation in waste separation, support better waste management initiatives, and create creative recycling products, namely economically valuable handicrafts. The results of these activities depict an increase in community awareness regarding the importance of sustainable waste management practices, with a positive impact on the local environment. This community service initiative provides concrete evidence that collaboration between academics and the local community can create significant changes in the management of inorganic recycling waste and promote active community participation in maintaining a cleaner environment.
