Rethink Waste Education Centre reopens

Published on 19 October 2026

Our Rethink Waste Education Centre has reopened with a new 2-hour theatrical production starring Land-Phil and Professor Comingle.

Land-Phil's Growing Problem: A Rethink Taskforce Adventure is a fun, interactive show designed to help primary school students rethink waste.

Students join the eccentric professor on a mission to uncover why a mysterious eco-entity named Land-Phil keeps growing larger and larger.

Through a series of challenges, adventures and hands-on learning, students explore the choices they can make to help create a more sustainable future.

The excursion also includes a behind-the-scenes look at a working recycling facility, bringing the waste journey to life.

Schools are encouraged to book early to secure their preferred dates for this unique excursion that combines live theatre, sustainability education and real-world discovery.
