How long does it last? (City of Cockburn) : Get ready to travel through time - with rubbish! In this fun, hands‑on activity, students become waste detectives as they sort everyday rubbish along a timeline to discover how long different items take to break down.

This session reinforces positive behaviours, showing how avoiding items like balloons and glitter near waterways helps protect our ecosystems.
