Keep Britain Tidy has named McDonald's as the most littered fast food brand in the country.
The company's burger wrappers and drinks cartons are more likely to be found strewn on our streets than any other fast food brand.
Keep Britain Tidy's branded litter survey serves up super-sized shame for some of the world's most recognised companies.
Our latest anti-litter campaign was launched by our chief executive Phil Barton and Cathy Parker of Manchester Metropolitan University this week at London's Leicester Square.
McDonald's was found to be the most common brand seen as litter in the snapshot survey of ten city centres and suburbs/out-of-town locations across England.
Nationwide McDonald's made up more than a quarter of all fast food litter (29%). Items common as litter were McDonald's burger wrappers, condiment sachets and plastic straws.
In second place, the local chippie or kebab shop: Keep Britain Tidy found a huge amount of unbranded chip wrappings and packaging in all locations (21%). This included polystyrene chip trays and plastic forks.
In third place, Greggs, was found to have a high gutter share. The company's pasty and pie wrappers made up 18% of all fast food litter.
There was a big drop to fourth place KFC (8%) and fifth place Subway (5%).
