Landfill Workshops

Have you ever thought about what really happens to our rubbish? In our free landfill workshops, you'll learn how modern waste management sites are carefully engineered, from leachate ponds and gas capture systems to the construction of landfill cells and the role of landfill lids.

You can also explore how waste management in Australia has changed over time, from backyard incinerators and glass milk bottles to today’s modern systems. You'll look at how far we’ve come and why what we throw away still matters.
