OLIO is a free app that connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, spare home-grown vegetables, bread from your baker, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. OLIO can also be used for non-food household items too.
OLIO is super easy! To make an item available, simply open the app, add a photo, description, and when and where the item is available for pick-up.
To access items, simply browse the listings available near you, request whatever you like and arrange a pick-up via private messaging. For free!
If you are a business who throws away food regularly or even occasionally, get in touch! OLIO can arrange collections to make sure it does not end wasted. OLIO respects food safety guidelines, so this is done by agreeing on a protocol to comply with every regulation.
OLIO’s regular customers include Tesco and Pret A Manger.
