Is McDonald's under-rated as a bike stop?

So people only throw the stuff out because it's 'icky', otherwise they would take it home? Give over.

I get Mucky D cartons/cups stuck midway into my privet hedge at the front of the house quite often, I find this strange cos the nearest one is 3 miles away and we don't live near a main road or a popular 'dogging' spot but on a quiet side road, OK there is a pub opposite but that has a big carpark at the front.

I'd hazard a guess that a vast amount of litter on the streets is from fast food takeaways,whether it be MC or KFC,subway,greggs etc.Surely they could use some of their vast profits to address this ?

Yep and employ marksmen to shoot the littering fcukerz.

Cannot think of any other instance were the seller of an item is being held responsible for the twat who throws it out the window?!

I return to firearms offences: both user and seller may have committed offences.

More relevantly, I think councils often go after both flytippers for the actual littering, and the people who hired them for not using a proper waste disposal business.

Not only, but it's my hypothesis for why Mucky D's is the most prevalent litter near me, despite not being the closest. Feel free to state yours, rather than just write "give over".

McDonald's is more popular? People eat inside at the others more? People take longer to drink a coffee, say, than they do to eat a Big Mac and fries? You're suffering from confirmation bias?

If you invented a litterbin that could magically place itself right next to people, they'd still chuck it on the floor.

True.
There's a baked spud van outside Christchurch college in Oxford of an evening and people are happy just to chick the packaging in tve road rather than walk 10 metres to a bin. One of the worlds finest cities where people come from all over the world to visit and the locals couldn't give a schitt how it looks. It's appalling really. Shooting's too good for them.....

Let me try to rephrase what I wrote earlier: McD in particular is also at fault for using packaging that becomes icky before the end of a car journey if used for their fatty products... a choice of theirs to use cheap packaging rather than appropriate packaging. It's like if B&H made fags that fell apart into dog-ends before users finished smoking them. Fine both litterer and supplier.

No need to rephrase, I understood your point the first time you made it, It isn't that I didn't comprehend what you wrote merely that I disagree with it.

I do not thing people are throwing wrappers ( regardless of brand) out of the car because the packaging itself is substandard. I think people are throwing it out of a car, or leaving it because they are lazy and irresponsible.

To my mind, saying that the litter is the responsibility of McDonalds is yet another way in which the perpetrators of littering can feel that what they do is not that wrong, and that McDonalds should come out and pick it up for them because they produce the packaging, therefore it's their problem.

We recently have "litter wardens" here in Blackpool where you can get a instant 80 pound fine for dropping litter.

Your could mount a Minigun to the litterbin. Or is that a bit too ED-209?
