This community service program aims to strengthen environmental awareness through the collaboration of a waste bank, children’s environmental education, and a community greening initiative. The project was carried out by students participating in the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program as part of the university’s commitment to community engagement. The activities included establishing and mentoring a community-based waste bank to manage recyclable waste, organizing creative games and drawing competitions to introduce environmental values to children, and planting fruit trees and herbal plants to create a greener neighborhood. The results indicate an increase in residents’ participation in waste sorting, better understanding of the economic value of recyclable materials, and growing environmental concern among children. The greening program also fostered a sense of togetherness and improved the aesthetic quality of the area. The integration of these three initiatives proved effective in promoting lasting ecological awareness and community responsibility. This program provides a practical model for sustainable community empowerment that can be adapted in other regions. Overall, the KKN environmental project demonstrates the important role of students as facilitators in linking academic knowledge with real community action toward sustainable development.
