.McDonald’s plans fo tackle slobs

by Glenn Werkman
The Review

McDonald’s Restaurants plans
to try to educate the public about
littering and its community rela-
tions representative agreed Friday
that some people are slobs.

Louise Eldridge said the restau-
rant on Mt. Newton Crossroad and
the Pat Bay Highway has garbage
cans in as many locations as
possible.

“People are slobs and that’s
why we have to revert to decency
in human nature,” Eldridge said.
“Everyone must clean up their
own backyard.”

k McDonald’s staff walk a two-
block radius around the Mt. New-
ton Crossroad restaurant twice a
day to pick up garbage that may be
thrown out by customers.

“Central Saanich council is
right when they say educating the
public is the problem,” Eldridge

_ said. “We're hoping the schools
‘are able to help us.”

The restaurant chain plans to
write a letter to council about the
litter problem — which is not

nique to Central Saanich but
common near McDonald’s restau-
tants.

“We get complaints along Gold-
stream Avenue Gin Colwood) and

around Mt. Tolmie,’’ Eldridge
said.

But McDonald’s can’t cure the
problem on its own and wants
public assistance.

“Maybe people in problem
areas could help with suggestions
as to where the litter is,” she said.
Specific problem areas can be
difficult to spot from a vehicle
moving through a neighborhood
and persons walking would likely
find problem areas more readily,
she said.

A clean-up day is one way to
deal with the problem that’s being
considered. Another being consid-
ered is placing garbage bins in
areas outside the restaurant’s park-
ing lot.

Eldridge said that all food sold
at the drive-through window of a
McDonald’s is served in a bag.
“But people take lunches in their
car and theyre not concerned
about other people when they're
done.

“We'd like to help,” Eldridge
said. “I understand the concem
but people just don’t think (before
throwing garbage from car win-
dows).”

Eldridge said the litter problem
will likely get worse in the sum-
mertime.
