Most of the waste problems come from household waste, both organic and inorganic waste. Household waste if managed properly can be a resource. The purpose of the community serviced activities that we have done is to utilized household waste into valuable products, the waste we treat is used cooking oil and fruit skin waste. Used cooking oil is residual frying oil which can be harmful to health if consumed or if thrown into the environment. While fruit and vegetable skin waste as domestic waste with the largest percentage will have to be handled so that it can reduce the volume of waste. In this community service, we provide knowledge in the form of household waste management, how to make bar soap from used cooking oil and cleaning fluid from fruit skin waste and its application to daily life. With direct practice, housewives as participants in this training were very enthusiastic about participating in this program, because, in addition to being able to reduce waste to landfill, they could also save on monthly expenses to buy cleaning materials.
