The stickers are attached to the fast food packaging and can be traded in for free food inside the restaurant chain.

Aaron Briston, 25, was sat at the drive-thru of the Forest Retail Park branch on Saturday evening (April 1) when he spotted the Monopoly-mad teens riffling through the trash.

Angry at the litterbugs, Mr Briston said: “I was sat at the drive-thru waiting to pay and I could see four young teens running around emptying every bin in McDonald’s car park looking for Monopoly stickers.

“They even emptied bins looking for them at a nearby garage and shop.”

A spokesperson for McDonald’s said: “Our main concern is around the levels of litter shown in this picture.

“This is something we will be looking into as a matter of urgency and would like to point out there is no evidence to suggest this has anything to do with our Monopoly promotion.

“Our priority is to be a good neighbour and we remain committed to playing our part in tackling rubbish.

“Our restaurant teams carry out at least three litter patrols a day in and around our restaurants and we also work regularly with a variety of anti-litter charities and initiatives.”
