The Black Soldier Fly (H. illucens) is an insect that is useful for reducing organic waste. This study aims to determine the effect of market waste: fruit, vegetables, agricultural waste: grated coconut dregs, coffee grounds, food waste: tofu dregs, corncob dregs, on the development and growth of Hermetia illucens larvae. This research was conducted at the location of Maggot Medan Teratai (MMT) Jalan Bunga Teratai No.9, Padang Bulan Selayang II, Kec. Medan Selayang, Medan, North Sumatra at an altitude of ± 25 meters above sea level from December to April 2022.
