Crew from McDonald’s restaurants across Cornwall teamed up with Keep Britain Tidy to clean up Falmouth's Kimberley Park and the playing fields on Dracaena Avenue.
The area was cleaned by a team that consisted of 12 staff members and managers who collected a total of 12 bags of rubbish.
This event is just one of a number of McDonald’s clean-ups taking place across the UK as part of its anti-littering campaign, ‘Love Where You Live’.
The campaign continues to encourage local communities to take action and work together to tackle litter in their area, and forms part of a 12-year partnership between McDonald’s and Keep Britain Tidy.
McDonald’s franchisee David Wynne, who owns 12 restaurants across Cornwall and Devon, said: “I was really proud to see everyone come together and help tidy up Falmouth.
"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.”
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.
