Abstract

The Green movement in schools so far has produced quite a lot of plant waste, both from perennials, ornamental plants and shrubs. Waste recycling solutions have not been fully implemented, so many useful potential was wasted away. The facts in the field showed that many forage wastes of school plants thrown away or stacked in temporary landfills. That community service aimed to introduce methods of waste decomposition for vocational high school students, namely SMK N 1, SMK N 2, SMK Diponegoro, SMK YPKK 3 and SMK Karya Rini. The methods: (1). Earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) and bioactive starter was used and hopefully would produce organic fertilizer; and (2). Demonstrations and simulations that include practice vermicomposting with bioactive starter followed by treatment on organic waste. This activity was conducted in the Laboratory of Organic Waste Treatment - Department of Biology Education, Yogyakarta State University. The results: (1). The enthusiasm of the participants in the implementation of the community service was quite high, as evident from the many curious questions about processing organic waste with vermicomposting and bioactive starter for producing the high quality of organic fertilizer; (2). Followed-up activities were expected each participant could become a pioneer of organic waste processing at their respective schools, or even in the surrounding community.The activities of students could be monitored by communication through mobile phones numbers and whatsapp accounts.
