Did you know McDonald’s crew members have been cleaning up litter dropped in our local communities for over 35 years!
It may surprise you to hear that McDonald’s crew members across the UK cover a total of 3,000 MILES each week on litter patrols (where they collect litter from any origin, not just their own). This equates to 150,000 miles, or the distance of FOUR marathons per restaurant per year.
McDonald’s are tackling litter not just through picking it up, but also by working to reduce waste produced by its restaurants. They set themselves the target of sending zero waste to landfill by 2023 (and many restaurants actually achieved this in 2017.)
Since 2015 McDonald’s has installed recycling units in more than 1,000 of its UK restaurants, so it’s easier to separate your paper cups and plastics for recycling, meaning 85% of restaurants now have customer recycling facilities.
Just 9% of its customer packaging is made from plastic.
