Valiant volunteers from McDonald's in Sidcup teamed up to help clean up local streets as part of a national campaign being ran by the multinational fast-food chain.
In attendance on the day were Bexley councillors June Slaughter and Richard Dement as well as volunteers from Bexley Mencap.
The group worked along the High Street collecting over 40 bags of rubbish, including wooden pallets, building materials and fridges.
McDonald’s franchisee Bill Perera said: "I was really proud to see everyone come together and help tidy up Sidcup.
"It’s a key priority of ours to ensure that the local area remains free of litter and an enjoyable place to live, work and visit.
"As a business we understand the important role that we play in making the area a cleaner place for everyone."
In addition to larger scale litter events such as this, McDonald’s has expressed its committed to finding ways to reduce, reuse and recycle in its restaurants and across its whole business.
Crew members across the UK cover a total of 3,000 miles each week on litter patrols, which equates to approximately 150,000 miles a year.
McDonald’s also claims to be making changes in-store, with over 1,000 of its UK restaurants having front-of-house recycling facilities in which all packaging, including paper cups, can be separated in order for them to be recycled.
In addition to the annual Keep Britain Tidy litter events and daily patrols, many restaurants have also now begun to get involved in events such as painting walls and replanting trees and flowers that improve local community areas.
