Abstract

The increasing volume of waste in Indonesia is a feature of the low level of public awareness to waste management. The problem of waste management is still considered to be the responsibility of the government. School is one of the institutions that has a role to build awareness education for children and teenagers in waste management. In fact, there are still many teenagers in Indonesia who do not understand the importance of waste management. This paper aims to examine the ability of senior high school students in waste management by exploring three areas: knowledge about waste management, organic waste processing, and an organic waste processing. This research was conducted in senior high school by involving students and teachers. Participants were given knowledge about the types of waste, knowledge and practice of managing organic waste, and practicing an organic waste processing into useful items. The results showed that the student waste management’s knowledge was still low, because they had never been taught in the school curriculum. They don't even know how to process organic waste. Our visit has changed their knowledge about waste and how to process it. So, it is necessary to teenagers to directly practice how to manage waste into something more valuable.
