Co-op seeks permission for reverse vending machine at Dunfermline store

Co-op has applied for planning permission for a reverse vending machine outside its store at Shamrock Street, Dunfermline.

The move is in preparation for the deposit return scheme, which has been delayed until May 2024.

If approved, the machine – which would be just under 2.5 metres in height and 1.4m wide – would be installed to the left of the store entrance.

The store offers bakery, National Lottery, PayPoint, and parcel services. It currently opens every day 7am to 10pm.
