Domestic waste management remains a serious environmental issue in rural areas, particularly due to low community participation and inadequate waste-handling behavior. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of community education on the management and reduction of domestic waste generation in Pasir Utama Village, Rambah Hilir District, Rokan Hulu Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative and quantitative approach. Qualitative data were obtained through direct observation of community behavior before and after the educational intervention, while quantitative data were collected by measuring domestic waste generation based on SNI 3964:2025 over eight consecutive days from nine households representing high-, middle-, and low-income groups. The educational intervention was delivered through socialization, training, and counseling activities by implementing a domestic waste management regulatory model adapted from the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of PT. X. The results showed that prior to the educational program, the level of community participation in waste management was low, with an average waste management behavior rate of 24%. After the implementation of the educational intervention, there was a notable increase in community participation in waste segregation and management, accompanied by a reduction in the amount of domestic waste generated. In conclusion, community education was proven to be effective in improving domestic waste management behavior and contributing to the reduction of household waste generation.
