The activity began with the presentation of material explaining the definition, types, and proper methods of waste separation in daily life. This was followed by educational games designed to reinforce students’ understanding of waste classification. The activity concluded with a hands-on practice of creating handicrafts from used cardboard as an application of reuse principles. The results indicated that students were able to distinguish between organic and inorganic waste and demonstrated increased awareness and concern for environmental cleanliness within the school environment.
