Roscrea McDonald's selected for toy trial

Roscrea McDonald’s selected for toy trial

McDonald's restaurant in Roscrea is the only branch in Ireland selected to participate in a new trial of collection bins for unwanted plastic toys.
The fast food giant is to collect any plastic toys - from its own Happy Meals and those bought from other retailers - as long as they fit through the 17cm diameter entrance to the bins.
The toys will be recycled into new products, from coffee cups to bins, outdoor play equipment and vegetable planters to be gifted to communities.
Roscrea is one of seven locations between Ireland and the UK that will take part in the four-week trial.
If successful, McDonald's will look to roll the move out to all restaurants in 2020.
