RUBBISH was the talk of the day for pupils of Francis Combe School and Community College, when they joined forces with a fast food giants, McDonald's for an environmental project.
Staff of the Garston restaurant joined forces with Year 9 pupils at the school in Horseshoe Lane, Garston to work on a group project focussing on the re-occurring problem of litter within the community.
The project designed to raise litter awareness is part of the educational nationwide campaign, Just Bin It, which has secured the regular support of McDonald's for the past 13 consecutive years.
Participating pupils at the school celebrated their achievements in an official assembly held at the school on Monday (June 24) in which staff from McDonald's presented the school with a bin for their playground to assist them in spreading the word and ensure their environment remains litter free.
McDonald's area manager, Mr Lee Burrett said: "It's great to work in partnership with the local community to raise awareness about protecting our local environment and tackling the issue of litter at its root, through fun events with an important message.
"The students have done an amazing job with their projects and all deserve the prizes that they are receiving."
