One of the environmental problems faced by the Malang Regency is the high amount of waste generated by the community every day. The regions that are the biggest contributors for garbage are Singosari and Pakis Subdistrict. RW 16 in Mangliawan Village is one of the areas located in Pakis Subdistrict. The main problems happening in the region were the level of awareness and understanding of the community in managing waste were still low and the environment was arid and hot. The solution to overcome this problem was to invite the community to conduct a comparative study. The other activities were to provide accompaniment to the community of RW 16 to manage waste and to plant TOGA and vegetables. The program has been able to increase the community’s awareness and understanding to manage waste, in addition, it can motivate the community so that they are willing to grow TOGA and vegetables in order to create a green environment.
