Abstract

Simpang Tuan Village, Mendahara Ulu District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province faces many obstacles in terms of cleanliness quality. The Real Work Lecture Program (KUKERTA) of the State Islamic University of Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi provides opportunities for students to preserve in community development and service. This study aims to reduce and manage waste in Simpang Tuan Village, Mendahara Ulu District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, especially in RW. 01 Pematang Lalau Village, as part of the KUKERTA work program of Post 73 Group II, State Islamic University of Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi. The method used in this study is a qualitative method through observation, interviews with the community, and through secondary data such as journals and scientific articles. The results of the study stated that the form of waste management in the village still faces many challenges, especially related to inadequate infrastructure such as the lack of final waste disposal sites and low public awareness of the importance of protecting the environment. KUKERTA students play a role in waste reduction and management in this village as part of their work program by holding socialization about waste awareness, construction of landfills, ecobricks, and hydroponics. In addition, the waste reduction and management program helps achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this village. The results of this work program show that the community has started to dispose of waste in landfills and has creativity in processing waste into useful items. In conclusion, efforts to improve waste reduction and processing can continue to be carried out to obtain better environmental health for the community in RW. 01 Pematang Lalau Village.
