Waste is defined as something that is no longer used, unused, disliked or something that is thrown away, which comes from human activities and does not occur by itself or remains from a business or activity in the form of piles of used goods, animal waste, plants or vegetables. Environmental balance becomes disturbed if the amount of waste products exceeds the environmental tolerance threshold and causes damage and can have a negative impact on human health. So it is necessary to handle waste, one way to process waste to make it more useful is by making Paving Blocks. In Nirannuang Village, Bontomarannu District, the community was given training on how to use waste such as plastic waste, used oil waste and sugarcane bagasse waste as material for making paving blocks.
