Sampah sebagai suatu barang yang sudah tidak digunakan lagi, dibuang maupun terbuang akibat aktivitas manusia ataupun proses alam yang dapat menimbulkan permasalahan bagi masyarakat. Dampak yang ditimbulkan dari sampah yang menumpuk yakni habisnya lahan untuk pembuangan, menimbulkan bau yang tidak sedap dan dapat mencemari air bersih. Pengolahan sampah bisa dimulai dari lingkungan rumah dan sekolah. Siswa diajak untuk memilah dan mengolah sampah anorganik. Upaya penanggulangan yang dapat dilakukan adalah melibatkan peran siswa untuk meningkatkan upaya pendauran ulang sampah, salah satunya adalah ecobrick. Nilai-nilai karakter yang ditanamkan dalam mengolah sampah menjadi barang berguna sesuai dengan karakter Pancasila. Mitra yang dipilih dalam kegiatan pengabdian adalah SD Negeri Kramat 5 dan SD Muhammadiyah 2 Alternatif yang berada di Kota Magelang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa sangat bersemangat dan antusias dalam praktek membuat ecobrick dari sampah plastik dan botol bekas. Kegiatan pengolahan sampah menjadi ecobrick sangat mendukung siswa untuk memiliki karakter pelajar pancasila.

<p><em>Education needs to play a role in overcoming environmental problems by forming environmentally literate individuals. Environmentally literate individuals are individuals who are responsible for their behavior, respect the environment, and understand the problems that occur in the environment. Therefore, environmental literacy needs to be instilled and trained from an early age. It is known that students are not aware of various environmental problems, and efforts to preserve the environment, environmental education has not been integrated into classroom learning, and the absence of waste management practices in schools makes students' environmental literacy low. The methods used in PKM include (a) case studies and discussions, and (b) the practice of making compost and using it to fertilize plants. PKM activities begin with contracts and at the end of the activity, an evaluation is carried out to find out the achievements of PKM implementation. PKM activities were carried out in two partner schools namely SD Muhammadiyah 2 Alternative and SD Negeri Keramat 5 Magelang. Participants who are students from the two partner schools have understood environmental issues, and waste management as an effort to preserve the environment, and are skilled in processing organic waste into compost. Participants showed interest and enthusiasm during the PKM activities.</em></p>

<p align="justify"><span><em>Many used goods that are not utilized can contribute to the production of more and more waste. Students at partner schools are not used to using used materials for science learning media. This causes students to be unable to apply theory in science in everyday life which makes students' scientific literacy in partner schools still lacking. The difficulties of students in partner schools in learning science are possible because students do not know scientific phenomena that occur in everyday life and students are not introduced to science practices. Through the management of used goods into simple science tools, it is hoped that they can be used as learning media for students in partner schools. The method used in this activity is lecture, discussion, and practice. This activity was carried out for 3 meetings at each partner. These activities included delivering materials and making simple science teaching aids using used materials. Making simple science tools from used goods makes students learn about science. It also teaches students to take advantage of used goods in the surrounding environment, so that indirectly they can also maintain the environmental sustainability. The obstacle found in this activity was the limited time needed to make science teaching aids.</em></span></p>
