Based on information from the National Waste Management Data System (SIPSN), Southeast Sulawesi Province produces approximately 246,138 tons of waste per year. Plastic waste ranks as the second largest component in this region, accounting for 16.01% of the total waste generated. In North Konawe Regency, the total waste generation in 2024 reached 11,299 tons, or around 30.96 tons per day. This figure reflects an increase compared to the previous year, which was 10,265 tons per year or an average of 28.13 tons per day. The increase in waste volume is in line with population growth, which continues to rise year by year. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of waste management education in Sama Subur Village, Motui Subdistrict. This research applied a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test without a control group. The study involved 22 participants from Sama Subur Village, Motui Subdistrict, North Konawe Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires administered before and after the intervention to evaluate knowledge levels. Data were analyzed using computer software, and paired statistical tests were conducted to examine the differences before and after the educational intervention, with a significance value of p < 0.001 indicating a statistically significant difference. The analysis showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 7.36 in the pre-test to 9.23 in the post-test after the educational intervention. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the waste management education program. Education on waste management has been proven to improve community understanding of the importance of proper waste handling. Keywords: Education, Waste, Knowledge.
