Cadre Assistance in Waste Management in the As Salafiyah Al Fitrah Islamic Boarding School Surabaya in 2022

Abstract

Background: The economic activities of the community, as well as the rising standard of living and efforts to meet requirements, are directly related to the quantity of garbage created by the community. Improper waste management and a lack of information about waste reduction will increase the strain placed on the Final Processing Site (TPA), and if the TPA is unable to process trash, different environmental contamination will result.
