Do I have to pick up a food collection, even if it’s small?

Olio asks Food Waste Heroes to accept all collections, no matter how small, so surplus food isn’t wasted.

Can I reject a collection if it’s too small?

No. Olio asks all Food Waste Heroes to collect food even if it’s a very small amount, otherwise, the food will end up in the bin.

Why does Olio ask me to collect small amounts of food?

Every bit of food matters. If small collections are skipped, the food is wasted. Collecting ensures that even small amounts are shared locally.

What if the collection point is far away for just a few items?

Olio recruits Food Waste Heroes locally, so you shouldn’t need to travel far. Small collections are part of the role, and the impact adds up.

What can I keep in line with my 10%?

If your collection is less than 10 items, you can keep 1 item and share the rest.
