Helping to keep Britain tidy
McDonald's restaurants operate very much as part of their local community and quite naturally, therefore, take pride in the appearance of the local environment.
Our commitment to our local communities is to tackle litter in as many different ways as we can.
Your questions answered
Who picks up the rubbish left outside your restaurants?- We do. Across the UK, members of staff from our restaurants go out at least three times a day to pick up not only McDonald's packaging, but also any other litter. We are also one of the country's biggest sponsors of council litter bins, and provide bins outside all McDonald's restaurants.
- What measures do you take to stop people littering the streets with your packaging?
- We provide litter bins outside all McDonald's restaurants and the company is one of the biggest sponsors of council provided bins in the country. Also all McDonald's packaging carries an anti-littering symbol supported by signage in restaurants and car parks.
What you can do to help
We are trying to do all we can and with your help we can be even better.
You can help reduce litter by always putting your litter in the bin.
Raising awareness
All our packaging carries an anti-littering symbol to actively encourage our customers to dispose of their litter responsibly.
Binning it
We provide litter bins outside all our restaurants and are one of the biggest sponsors of council provided litter bins in the UK.
Litter patrols
At McDonald's we were the first to introduce Daily Litter Patrols in all our restaurants. So whatever is dropped, we make sure its picked up.
"It's good to see a business taking its commitment to the environment so seriously."
Councillor June Orton, Reading Town Council
