No doubt that some here will disagree, but my personal observation is
that some fast food franchise packaging litter seems to be more of a
problem that others. Between the stuff I see on my lawn and the litter
I see when out cycling. McDonalds is one of the worst. I rarely see
litter from Harvey's, Wendy's, Burger King or other similar fast food
joints. Around here, hands down, the worst is Tim Hortons.
FWIW, the town of Niagara on the Lake would not let McDonalds or Tim
Hortons open in the downtown tourist area. They restricted them to the
edge of town. Curiously, they allowed Starbucks to open an outlet
downtown a couple years ago.
