Various efforts have been held to address the problem, including the movement to sort waste from home. Community based waste management programs also have been launched including My Bogor Regency Green and Clean which aimed to create environmentaly friendly village (KRL).

However, in Sampora Village, Cibinong, Bogor Regency, waste is still a serious problem. KRL was not operated optimally. Garbages were still dumped into the rivers and the road. People are lack of understanding on how to manage and utilize waste, equipment and waste bank.

Therefore, knowledge, training, and assistance in waste management are necessity. In line with the program of sorting waste from home, the activities involve empowering of housewives as people who do most of their activities at home.

Further, a composter was also prepared to compost organic waste. The results are housewives felt more knowledgeable and willing to sort waste from home.
