Participants in this activity were PKK women in two villages, namely Melaya Village and Candikusuma Village. This activity consists of three stages, namely, planning, implementing, and evaluating. The method applied is counseling and plastic waste processing workshops. The results of the evaluation show that the community service activities have been carried out well. The participants were also enthusiastic and actively participated in this activity. This is indicated by the results of the evaluation, which show an increase in public knowledge.
