The strengthening of waste management is continued on waste bank management with the aim of providing education about waste that can be recycled and has economic value.
The next stage is the community service team introduces the importance of 3R in managing waste. Reuse means reusing waste that can still be used for the same function or other functions. Reduce means reducing everything that causes waste or creates non-biodegradable waste. Recycle means reprocessing (recycling) waste into useful new goods or products. managing waste with the 3R concept (Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle) can be done by anyone, anytime, anywhere, and at no cost.
