Jelegong is a village in Citarum River Basin, which is located in the Rancaekek, Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. In Jelegong Village, nfrastructure for garbage disposal are not yet available. Currently, residents treat garbage by piling garbage in the corner of the housing, throwing it into the river or burning it. Treatment of this waste is highly discouraged. By piling up garbage, it will cause unpleasant odors and will invite disease-carrying animals such as flies and mice. Throwing garbage into rivers will cause flooding, whereas if garbage is burned it will cause air pollution and damage the ozone layer that protects the earth. The waste problem must be managed properly. all layers of society, have a strategic role to make changes to the environment. Based on this, we, through community service activities, provide counseling and socialization about the 3 R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) accompanied by direct practice on how to process inorganic waste. The community is given guidance to be more friendly with waste by sorting waste into organic waste and inorganic waste. Furthermore, the community is given skills on how to process inorganic waste into useful goods that have high economic value. The community is very enthusiastic about this activity, marked by their incessant processing of collected waste. With this activity, it is hoped that the community will be more friendly to waste.
A sense of concern for the environment, one of which is by planting tree seeds. On this community service activities this time, we planted tree seedlings in the Citarum Watershed (DAS), in Jelegong village, West Bandung. The location selection was based on the condition of the area which was damaged by human activities, including the conversion of land into a trash can. This tree planting activity has a negative impact on the surrounding environment.
