The Community Service Team by Students (PMM) chaired by Serafica Btari Christiyani K, M.Sc together with the local government of Wringin Putih Village and BUMDes Guyub Rukun, the manager of TPS-3R Merti Bumi, succeeded in increasing maggot cultivation production by providing organic waste feed in an effort to improve the economic value of waste. 

Collaborating with members of the Biology Education lecturer FKIP Untidar, Shefa Dwijayanti Ramadani, M.Pd. and Aulia Vidya Almadana, M.M lecturer in the Department of Management FE Undip and 20 student members from various study programs within the scope of Tidar University. This activity has a noble goal of solving environmental issues in waste management, especially in Wringinputih Village, Borobudur District, Magelang Regency. The activities received funding from the Directorate of Research, Technology, and Community Service (DRTPM) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology in 2024. 

Various activities and work programs are carried out together with partners and the community of Wringinputih Village. One of them is a waste-sorting training program targeting housewives and youth organizations. In addition, to optimize the production of maggot cultivation as a form of bioconversion of household organic waste. Implementation and training in the use of technology in the form of a waste shredder and maggot drying oven were carried out. 

“The technology of the shredder tool functions to change organic waste into a finer form so that it can be used as good feed for maggots. Meanwhile, dry maggots are expected to be able to increase their shelf life and selling value, so the implementation of a drying oven is very much needed at this time,” explained the head of the Serafica team, Btari Christiyani K, M.Sc. 

After providing training on waste sorting and the use of this technology, it is hoped that the maggot production capacity at TPS-3R will be more optimal and can provide higher economic benefits for managers and the community, as well as becoming a more modern waste processing effort.
