Benny T’s Fish & Chip Shop and Restaurant
Benny T’s contacted us to discuss litter bin provision in the carpark and immediate vicinity of their premises in Laurieston.
We provided litter bins of the style and size sited elsewhere in the area at cost price, and fixed them to the ground on behalf of the business.
Benny T’s agreed to display our ‘Litter: There’s No Excuse’ campaign stickers on the bins.
We also agreed to site additional litter bins in the vicinity of the restaurant to help combat increased litter in the area.
Packaging is kept to a minimum as far as possible, and fish and chip boxes carry the ‘Tidyman’ logo.
As staff have to go outside to smoke, we have supplied ‘Butts Out’ personal ashtrays for them to use.
Land and Sea Fish & Chip Shop
Land and Sea Fish & Chip Shops in Polmont and Falkirk have taken steps to limit littering by their customers by considering the types of packaging they use and the products they sell.
As a result they do not sell glass bottles, thus reducing the problems associated with broken glass.
Polystyrene boxes are no longer used for fish and chips; instead paper packaging is used, which is more readily biodegradable.
Land and Sea is keen to work with us to promote litter awareness amongst their customers and their staff. They display campaign posters in their shop windows, and have requested various promotional items for use by staff, as well as litter picking equipment to help maintain cleanliness around their premises.
McDonald’s Restaurants
The McDonald's restaurants in Falkirk and Grangemouth joined forces in May of this year to carry out their annual ‘community clean up’ event.
Staff from all three restaurants got together with a local Beaver Cub group and cleaned up a stretch of the Antonine Wall on Tamfourhill Road.
McDonald's staff are required to carry out regular ‘trash walks’ throughout the day, removing all litter where possible within a 100 metre radius of the stores.
Litter bins are provided for customers within car parking areas.
McDonald’s are also distributing ‘car litter bags’ at their Drive Thrus as part of Visit Scotland and Keep Scotland Beautiful’s national roadside litter campaign, supported locally by Falkirk Council.
