Gerakan Pengumpulan, Pemisahan dan Pemanfaatan (P3) Sampah Elektronik (E-Waste) Bagi Para Pemulung di Kota Kendari

Abstrak

The city of Kendari faces challenges in managing electronic waste (e-waste), which is largely underutilized by local scavengers. The community service program "E-Waste Collection, Separation, and Utilization Movement (P3)" aims to raise awareness and improve the skills of scavengers in processing e-waste into economically valuable products. This program involved 20 scavenger participants trained to separate electronic components and repurpose used materials such as CDs, mainboards, and resistors into crafts like flower vases, earrings, and robot toys. The methods employed included lectures, discussions, video demonstrations, and hands-on training. The program's results revealed high enthusiasm among participants, particularly in crafting from used CDs, which were considered simple and affordable yet offered significant market value. This program not only educated scavengers about the hazards of e-waste but also provided economic opportunities and reduced environmental pollution. Further technical assistance is recommended to enhance the program's sustainability and effectiveness.
