Household organic waste remains one of the environmental challenges faced by rural communities. Limited public awareness regarding waste sorting and proper waste management often leads to the accumulation of organic waste that can cause environmental pollution. This study aims to increase community awareness and knowledge regarding organic waste management through household-based composting activities. The program was implemented as part of the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) in Cepokojajar Hamlet, Sitimulyo Village, Piyungan District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The methods used in this activity included observation, counseling and socialization activities, question-and-answer sessions, and direct practice of compost production using household organic waste. The materials used consist of kitchen waste such as fruit peels and vegetable residues, garden waste, animal manure, soil as a microbial starter, and additional bioactivators such as EM4 and rice washing water. The results of the program showed that community members began to understand the importance of waste sorting and were able to process organic waste into compost that can be used for household vegetable cultivation. Furthermore, the compost produced was used for planting vegetables such as spinach, water spinach, and mustard greens in home gardens. This program contributed to improving community awareness in maintaining environmental cleanliness and encouraged sustainable household waste management practices
