Using Used Paint Buckets as Trash Cans to Improve Environmental Cleanliness Through the Community Service Program (KKN)
Abstract
Environmental cleanliness is one of the key aspects in creating a healthy and comfortable community. However, many areas still face problems resulting from a lack of waste disposal facilities and low public awareness of the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness. One simple solution that can be implemented is repurposing used items into tools to support cleanliness. Through the Community Service Program (KKN), students carried out an initiative to repurpose used paint buckets as trash cans with the aim of reducing waste, providing waste disposal facilities, and raising public awareness about maintaining environmental cleanliness. This initiative demonstrates that used items that are still in good condition can provide benefits to the community.
