This summer we're teaming up with McDonald's to help continue their fight against litter up and down the country.
McDonald’s crew members have been cleaning up litter dropped in our local communities for over 35 years!
McDonald's volunteers will be taking to the streets on the 17th of June to clean up Short Strand / Mount area and hopefully make a real difference to their local community.
Fancy joining them? We’d like to encourage our readers to join the McDonald’s team in the fight against litter. Check out the details of the event below, and come and join in! If you fancy taking part, please email KeepUpTheCleanUp@redconsultancy.com for more information*.
Date: 17th of June
Meeting point: McDonald's Connswater, BT5 4AF
Meeting time: 9.30am
*All members of the public under 18 should be accompanied by a responsible adult
Similar McDonald's clean up events will be happening at various locations across the country in June.
This month-long initiative is just one of the ways McDonald's is tackling litter in 2019 as part of its 'Keep Up the Clean Up' campaign.
In fact, McDonald’s crew members cover a total of 3,000 miles each week on litter patrols (where they collect litter from any origin, not just their own).
McDonald's is tackling litter not just through picking it up, but also by working to reduce waste produced by its restaurants.
Whether it’s by turning waste into energy and fuel, or through its dedication to recycling, the brand is serious about a more sustainable future. They set themselves the target of sending zero waste to landfill by 2020 (and many restaurants actually achieved this in 2017.)
For example, did you know McDonald’s uses old cooking oil to power its deliveries? McDonald’s collects used oil from its kitchens and turns this into enough biodiesel to fuel more than half of their delivery fleet.
