Abstract: 
Numerous negative environmental impacts result from deforestation brought by the production of charcoal can be seen on news, and experienced by certain communities. Due to the high demand for traditional charcoal made from wood, there is also a high demand for cutting trees resulting in soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and modifications to regional climatic patterns are all consequences of deforestation. The researchers conducted the study to propose a solution to these problems by promoting sabango charcoal made from organic waste, such as dried mango leaves and saba banana peels. The researchers aimed to assess the acceptability level of sabango charcoal compared to traditional charcoal and used as a basis for a community extension program. Based on the analysis of statistical data, it showed that there is a significant difference between sabango charcoal and traditional charcoal in terms of smoke, ignition, and longevity. The gap between sabango charcoal and traditional charcoal can be determine to the smoke it produces, the time it takes to ignite, and the burning time. It can also be reused multiple times and offers a more environmentally friendly product.
