Waste is a common problem found in every area. Proper waste management is necessary to preserve the environment. The aims of this research are 1) to teach waste processing into compost and nutrients for plants through outdoor learning activities; 2) to train entrepreneurial students through science-edupreneurship-based science learning. The research subjects were 30 students of Science at the University of Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa (UST) Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative research analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 1) students were able to process waste into various types of compost and plant nutrients with product quality in the very good category; 2) students can practice entrepreneurship through selling compost and plant nutrition products by packaging and selling processed products to the community. The conclusion of this study, science-edupreneurship-based outdoor learning can train science students to process waste into something useful and to train entrepreneurship in agriculture through the production of compost and plant nutrition.
