LITTER doesn't last long in the grounds of St Peter's School, Darwen.
The school's Year Six pupils work in their breaks and at lunchtime to collect rubbish from around the Turncroft Road school.
All the children involved are volunteers - and staff say it has helped them develop an understanding of their role in preserving the environment.
The scheme has been running for three years and the school says local residents are grateful for the clean-ups.
The school has entered the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's Grimewatch awards, which reward all kinds of green projects.
Winners will be announced in March.
