The waste problem is a problem that has never been resolved until now, especially in the Jakarta area. Every year this problem is unstoppable, giving rise to new problems from health problems, environmental problems, social problems and other problems. Of course, this problem needs the right solution so that waste management and processing according to the mandate of Law 18 of 2008 can run well. One solution offered by the Jakarta regional government is to relocate the waste processing site in Bantargebang to a new place which will later be built into a waste island. This type of research uses normative legal research, which is research carried out by examining the laws and regulations that apply or are applied to a particular legal problem. Normative research is often referred to as doctrinal research, namely research whose object of study is legal and regulatory documents and library materials. In normative research, law is seen as synonymous with written norms, which are created and promulgated by authorized institutions or officials and reviews law as a normative system that is autonomous, independent, closed and detached from real community life. From the solutions offered by the Jakarta regional government that can create "two blades", the first thing that can be seen is that the formation of a waste island is a solution step for handling waste that is currently occurring and also raises the question of how to move existing waste to the waste island. Therefore, appropriate regulations are needed if this plan is later realized. This research method is normative legal research, which is research carried out by examining the laws and regulations that apply or are applied to a particular legal problem.

The results of the community service carried out are the provision of waste sorting bins and socialization of waste sorting. Apart from that, there has been an increase in knowledge regarding types of waste for the people of Setren Village.

The Citarum River, as one of the important environmental assets in Indonesia, has experienced serious pollution due to industrial waste. Environmental legal regulations have been implemented to address these issues, but questions arise regarding the effectiveness of their implementation. This article analyzes the effectiveness of environmental legal regulations in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River, with a focus on the level of industrial compliance and its impact on the environment. This study uses a qualitative approach by reviewing the applicable environmental legal regulations, as well as analyzing the level of industry compliance with these regulations. In addition, the impact of compliance or violations on the environment is also evaluated. The results of the analysis show that although environmental legal regulations exist, their implementation is still not optimal. Many factories still violate the limits that have been set, either because of a lack of strict law enforcement or because of a lack of awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. As a result, the Citarum River continues to experience pollution which is detrimental to the environment and public health. Existing environmental legal regulations are not effective enough in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River. More serious efforts are needed from the government, industry and society to overcome this problem. Concrete steps are needed to increase industrial compliance, reduce waste pollution, and preserve the Citarum River environment for the welfare of the community and sustainability of the ecosystem. Further research can be conducted to evaluate the implementation of remedial actions and their impact on future environmental conditions. This article concludes the need for improvement measures in the implementation of environmental legal regulations, including stricter law enforcement and efforts to increase environmental awareness among industry. Apart from that, cooperation between government, industry and civil society is also important to achieve the restoration of a clean and healthy Citarum River.

Coffee is a plantation crop that has long been planted and cultivated in Lombok. Senaru Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency is the largest robusta coffee producing area in Lombok with 225 hectares of coffee land. One of the coffee processing places in Senaru Village is the producer of Ayah Senaru Fermented Coffee which still uses the dry sun method with a tool called a widik. This drying method has many disadvantages because it takes a long time, is very dependent on the weather and is unhygienic. The process of drying coffee is the main factor that can determine the quality of coffee, which is why there is a need for technology as a coffee drying medium that is capable of producing quality coffee. Handling after harvest can be improved by applying modern coffee drying technology, namely greenhouses. The aim of this activity is to increase partner profits through an IoT integrated coffee drying greenhouse (GEEOTI) which is able to streamline coffee drying time and produce hygienic coffee skin waste. The method applied is the creation of GEEOTI, socialization of its use and analysis of the impact on increasing partner profits. The results of the research are that greenhouses can have a positive effect in speeding up, flattening the drying process and improving the quality of coffee compared to conventional methods. The waste from the coffee skins produced also becomes more hygienic coffee waste so it can be used as cascara tea. This activity can certainly increase partner profits by up to 100%. The partner's income, which was initially only IDR 5,100,000, was able to become IDR 13,950,000 per month because with the use of GEEOTI there was an increase in the price of coffee and the addition of a by-product in the form of cascara tea from coffee skin waste.
