PEMANFAATAN SAMPAH PLASTIK UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PENDAPATANMASYARAKAT DI KELURAHAN KARANGPILANG KOTA SURABAYA

Abstract

The lack of public awareness in utilizing plastic waste and the increase in community income in the Karangpilang village is an important issue in the Community Service Program organized by the KKN 033 group of the Bhayangkara University Surabaya. Based on problem analysis, the program's focus is on the following: 1) Making Ecobricks, 2) Making Street Name Frameworks, 3) Socializing the Utilization of Plastic Waste, 4) Socializing Community Security. Data collection techniques in this community service program include observation and socialization. The impact of this community service program shows that increasing public awareness of plastic waste utilization and improving the economy in the Karangpilang village will not be optimal without support from the surrounding community and the local government. The lack of support from the local government is one of the factors contributing to the low public awareness of plastic waste utilization and economic improvement. The survey results regarding public perception of plastic waste utilization in the form of a Waste Bank in the Karangpilang village show a positive response, as seen from the unity and cooperation of residents in assisting Group 033 in making crafts from plastic waste and creating street name frameworks, which were completed in two days.
