The purpose of this community service is to provide an understanding to the community (students) regarding the dangers of plastic waste to the environment and to provide knowledge to the public about how to process plastic waste into fuel oil using practical and inexpensive pyrolysis technology. The method of implementing this community service activity is in the form of counseling and training. The results of this community service received a very good response from students and teachers. This response can be seen from the enthusiasm of the participants when carrying out the practice of processing plastic waste into fuel oil. The conclusion of this community service has a very positive impact on the processing of plastic waste into fuel oil and changes the habits of the Bontang people, which initially only disposed of plastic waste, then utilized it so that it had economic value.
