Abstract

Trash is anything that is simply thrown away, and in many cases, it causes problems
for the environment. A World Bank report shows that the amount of waste in cities
around the world is expected to continue to increase by 70% from this year to 2025,
from 1.3 billion tonnes per year to 2.2 billion tonnes per year. The largest increases
occurred in cities in poor countries. Based on World Bank data, domestic waste
generation in Indonesia is 151,921 tons per day, which means that each Indonesian
resident throws away approximately 0.85 kilograms of waste every day. Based on the
same data, only 80% of all waste produced globally is collected, while the rest is
destroyed and pollutes the environment. From the results of a field survey carried out in
Watungarandu Village, Lalonggasumeeto District, Konawe Regency, we found that
there was still a lot of rubbish that was not disposed of properly, was thrown in random
places and was also littered everywhere. This is what motivates us MD-MBKM KKN
students in Watungarandu Village to provide education to create public awareness not
to litter. The aim of installing this waste education sign is to provide awareness to the
public about the dangers of waste that is thrown away carelessly. The trash sign itself
explains how long it takes for the trash to decompose. The methods used are
presentations and consultations. The results of this activity aim to increase public
awareness of the dangers of littering and improve the welfare of the people of
Watungarandu Village.
