Westside shoppers have collectively diverted more than nine tonnes of soft plastic last year from landfill through recycling at Coles supermarkets.

Customers of Coles Kenmore are the top recyclers in the state after diverting more than 2,500 kilograms of plastics bags, wrappings, and packets.

Coles chief property and export officer Thinus Keeve is proud of the community’s efforts. 

“Customers should be commended for remembering to bring their soft plastics back to the store,” Mr Keeve said.
