Big three fast food chains fined after outlets accused of dumping waste, oil in drains

Victoria's environmental watchdog said three individual outlets in Melbourne had been busted for bad behaviour.

Victoria's Environment Protection Authority said it had written to the head offices of McDonald's, Hungry Jacks, and KFC after the pollution reports.

A Hungry Jacks store in Preston did not manage its waste liquids, including cooking oil, the EPA said, which was released into stormwater drains."Earlier this year, staff at Hungry Jack's Preston restaurant observed a spill from a leaking waste oil collection tank and immediately conducted a clean-up followed by further remedial action," a spokesperson said.

"We take our responsibility as a local business extremely seriously and understand how important it is to do the right thing for our people, communities and the environment."
