Open burning of household waste remains the dominant waste disposal practice in rural areas of Indonesia, posing significant risks to public health and environmental quality. This community service activity aimed to provide an innovative, low-smoke waste combustion solution — the rocket stove incinerator — to the residents of Dusun Allukeke, Desa Belapunranga, Kecamatan Parangloe, Kabupaten Gowa. A baseline survey conducted during PBL 1 revealed that 87.6% of households disposed of waste through open burning. An asset-based community development (ABCD) approach was adopted, engaging community members at every stage from planning, construction, to utilisation. The rocket stove was constructed over three days using locally available materials and was demonstrated to significantly reduce visible smoke emissions compared to conventional open burning. The technology works through a vertically insulated combustion chamber that promotes near-complete combustion, reducing waste volume by 50–90% while suppressing particulate matter and hydrocarbon emissions. Community participation strengthened local ownership of the solution. This activity demonstrates that appropriate technology co-constructed with communities can serve as a practical, sustainable, and replicable model for rural waste management.

The high volume of fishery waste often poses an environmental burden if not managed appropriately. Conversely, the circular economy concept offers sustainable solutions aligned with Maqasid Shariah principles in environmental preservation (Hifz al-Alam). This study aims to educate and implement the processing of fish waste into high-quality animal feed that meets halal standards (halalan thayyiban). This research employs a qualitative approach using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method. The stages include socializing the concept of Sharia circular economy, technical training on waste processing, and nutritional content testing of the feed. The findings indicate an 80% increase in community understanding regarding the economic value of waste. Technically, the fish waste processing successfully produced an alternative animal feed with high protein content, free from najis (impurity) through a purification process according to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). This education proves that the integration of circular economy and Sharia principles not only reduces environmental impact but also creates sustainable economic added value for local communities.
