Improperly managed waste remains a challenge in several rural areas in Indonesia, including Brangkal Village, Klaten Regency. The common practice of dumping waste in open areas and burning it in the open often leads to environmental pollution, especially air pollution that impacts local communities. Responding to this condition, students from the GIAT 14 Program of Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), under the guidance of Field Supervisor Septina Sulistyaningrum, S.Pd., M.Pd., introduced an eco\u2011friendly incinerator as an alternative waste\u2011management solution for the village.

The incinerator is a controlled\u2011burn waste\u2011processing tool designed to minimize the volume of waste while producing minimal exhaust smoke. The initiative stemmed from discussions with village authorities and observations of Brangkal\u2019s geographical condition, which lies close to the Klaten\u2013Solo\u2013Yogyakarta Toll Road. This location makes open burning highly dangerous as thick smoke can obstruct drivers\u2019 visibility and threaten road safety.
\u201cOpen burning is still often found in Brangkal, even though the area lies near a major toll road. Seeing this situation, we created a low\u2011smoke incinerator as a safer method for residents to manage waste without endangering toll\u2011road users,\u201d explained Busyairi Majid, coordinator of the GIAT 14 student team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction began on December 25, 2025, with the team selecting a location near the village\u2019s waste bank and duck coop. This site was chosen for its strategic placement\u2014not too far from residential areas and still accessible\u2014while also maintaining safety and avoiding disruption to daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
