Drive-Thru Orders to Get a Licence Plate Stamp? McDonald’s Weighs In

Imagine ordering your favourite meal at a drive-thru, only to find your car’s number plate printed right on your burger bag. That’s the latest plan on the table to crack down on litter louts and encourage proper rubbish disposal.

Licence Plates on Packaging: The New Litter-Busting Idea

The proposal would mean every drive-thru order must record and print the vehicle’s number plate on the packaging. This move aims to catch offenders and slap them with fines if they dump litter recklessly.

McDonald’s Stays Cautious but Interested

A McDonald’s spokesperson said the brand supports the idea in principle. “We want to encourage customers to dispose of packaging responsibly and are open to the proposal,” they added.

But it’s not that simple. The fast-food giant admits it’s looked into adding licence plates to bags before. The hurdle? Handling customers’ data properly without breaching privacy rules poses a serious challenge.
