PENGOLAHAN SAMPAH ORGANIK DENGAN MEDIA KOMPOSTING BIOPORI DI KOMPLEKS PERUMAHAN CINTA KASIH TZU CHI KELURAHAN TONDO, KECAMATAN MANTIKULORE

Abstract

Community service activities have been carried out in the Tzu Chi Love Housing Area, Tondo Village, Mantikulore District. This area is a new area that cannot be avoided from changes in land use. The Tzu Chi Compassionate Housing Area has been arranged with a good drainage system. For each house unit, there is still a small yard in front of it that can be used as an infiltration area. This small yard is also used by residents to grow ornamental plants or types of vegetables that can be consumed. Therefore, the application of biopore holes as an infiltration technique can be done and of course it can be used as a container for processing organic waste to reduce waste accumulation at the location so that efforts to care for the environment can be managed properly. The service related to outreach/socialization activities and the direct practice of making Biopori Infiltration Holes have opened up the insight of the residents of the Tzu Chi Love Housing Complex in Kawatuna Village regarding the existence of open land as a means of infiltration of rainwater. This practical learning is important to be applied in the location of agricultural land and local residents' yards in the application of biopore infiltration holes to assist in making compost as organic fertilizer for their plants.
