Inadequate household waste management remains an environmental health issue in Jagalano Village, Rantau Panjang District, Ogan Ilir Regency. Improper waste disposal practices and limited waste collection facilities contribute to environmental pollution and increase the risk of health problems. This community service program aimed to strengthen household waste management through the demonstration of biopore infiltration holes and the provision of waste disposal facilities. The program employed a community empowerment approach involving problem identification through observation, household surveys, and interviews, followed by educational activities, biopore infiltration hole demonstrations, the provision of waste disposal facilities, and evaluation through observation and discussions. The findings showed that 68.0% of households disposed of waste in open land, streams, or rivers, while flies and rodents were found around 64.0% of households. The program resulted in the establishment of four biopore infiltration holes at residents' homes and the provision of waste disposal facilities for community use. The activities improved community knowledge and practical skills in managing organic household waste and encouraged the implementation of more organized and sustainable household waste management.
