This community service program aimed to empower PKK women through the utilization of red and white onion skin waste into Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF). The program was conducted in Siyar Village, Rembang District, through several stages, including preparation, material delivery, hands-on LOF production, and assistance during the fermentation process. Participants were directly involved in each stage using materials that were easily available in their household environment. The results showed that participants gained an understanding of the potential utilization of onion skin waste and were able to independently practice the production of LOF. The resulting product was characterized by a brown color and a relatively mild fermentation odor. The activity also encouraged a change in participants’ perspectives toward household waste, from being viewed merely as waste to being recognized as a material that could be reused. Thus, this empowerment program can serve as an initial step in developing simple, environmentally friendly, and sustainable waste-management skills within the community.
