Many villages in developing countries, like Indonesia, lack formal waste collection services, have minimal waste management facilities, and have low environmental awareness, leading to the accumulation of waste, especially organic waste, which negatively impacts the environment and public health. Accumulated organic waste in rural areas is a crucial issue. Previous literature explains the success of using BSF technology in organic waste processing on an industrial or individual scale, but no one has yet examined the use of BSF technology on a communal scale for household organic waste management in rural areas. This study explores the use of communal-scale BSF technology to achieve circular household organic waste management in Laras Dua Village, Indonesia. The methodology involves experiments using a 40 m² communal area with 100 selected housewives. The research results show that 74% of organic waste is converted into BSF larvae and compost. Incorporating mixed food waste (including fruits, vegetables, and cooked food) enhances larval growth compared to using only fruits and vegetables. Our discovery is that using community-based BSF technology can help manage organic waste in rural areas by turning household waste into BSF larvae, which can be used as animal feed and compost for plants. These findings are important for helping villages achieve sustainable development goals, creating chances for more research on improving processing methods, applying these models in other rural areas, and studying the economics to keep this program going. © 2025, Dr Tarak Nath Podder Memorial Foundation.
