I have been noticing the litter for some time as I go for walks and although there are several fast food establishments in the area the predominant brand I see is McDonalds. You might be thinking that where I walk is near a McDonalds,which is true but within blocks are three other fast food outlets,all but one of these offer drive-thru service,so that doesn't seem to be a factor. Though I found no reason behind this I did find that McDonalds is the consistent winner in the litter lottery. In England 29% of the fast food litter was of McDonalds origin. Their suggestion was for the fast food chains to take a more active anti-litter role. The company (McDonalds) sent out teams to pick up litter three times a day,they realize that seeing litter with their brand name could have a negative affect.
In the US fast food waste is between 33%-70% of all litter depending on the area of the country. Guess who tops the litter list here as well? Yes,McDonalds. In some of the greener US cities they are requiring restaurants give out only recyclable or compostable packaging. But again...what do you suppose it is about McDonalds that seems to make patrons more prone to littering?
