Abstract

Household waste in Indonesia is still dominated by food scraps and plastics, while source-level waste separation and organic waste management at the household level remain suboptimal. This applied research analyzes the implementation of the Organic Savings Arisan Program (ANTIK) as a community-based empowerment model that integrates education on waste separation, compost production, and its utilization for family food security among PKH Beneficiary Families (KPM) in Kuranji District, Padang City. The program began in October 2025, continued in November 2025, and included the use of compost in January 2026 for cultivating water spinach and spinach. The study employed a descriptive-qualitative method, including participatory observation, focus group discussions, documentation, and a brief motivation–commitment survey (n = 16 out of a total of 21 participants). The results showed that 100% of respondents were committed to attending regular meetings; 75% committed to bringing organic waste deposits; 56.25% were willing to maintain records (ANTIK Book); and 50% were ready to produce compost at home and actively participate in the group. The findings indicate that ANTIK is effective as a “behavioral ladder,” guiding participants from ecological awareness to micro-scale circular economy practices and productive household food activities. The study recommends strengthening deposit SOPs, record-keeping mechanisms, and technical guidance to enhance consistency in household practices.
