A soft plastic recycle unit enables the community to recycle items such as bread bags, yogurt pots, crisp packets, ready meal lids, biscuit wrappers and pet food pouches.  

All of Co-op’s own food packaging can therefore be recycled either through local authority kerbside collections or the in-store recycling unit. 

Co-op store manager Darren Scott said: “The whole team is delighted to have had the opportunity to invest in transforming Chelston’s Co-op – the store really has a great look and fresh new layout.  

“We aim to operate at the heart of local life and we have worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve our community conveniently, with a focus on delivering member value so that the people who own our business, our member-owners, benefit every time they shop.” 

In February 2024 Co-op unveiled a new convenience store in Wrotham Road, Welling.
