Abstract

The Program for Applying Appropriate Technology (PPTTG) aims to utilize organic waste into organic fertilizer in SD Negeri 13 Muaro and SD Negeri 3 Muaro, Sijunjung District, Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra Province.

Seeing this problem, it is necessary to look for solutions in the form of: (1) mentoring waste management literacy, (2) socialization of the utilization of organic waste into organic fertilizer, and (3) assistance using organic waste to technology-based organic fertilizer. The results of the application of technology showed that the average success rate of the program reached 85,11% with the Good category.
