About Olio
Olio is a waste-reducing app that allows you to pick up and share food and household items within your local community. The app, which is free to use, promotes community spirit by encouraging neighbours to share and connect.
New Features
Previously, everything on Olio was free, but in 2023, the app introduced a selling feature. Now, you can make money by selling items you no longer need and save money by purchasing secondhand goods.
What Can You Get?
The items available depend on what your neighbours are offering. You can set your travel distance from 0.3 miles to 16 miles and sort items by newest or closest.
Request Items: If you see something you want for free, click ‘request this’ and arrange collection via message.
Buy Items: For items being sold, the price is displayed in the top left corner of the image. You can use the message function to negotiate if needed.
Borrowing Items
Olio also offers a borrowing feature, allowing neighbours to lend items that can be returned after use. This is perfect for things like fancy dress outfits or expensive DIY tools that you only need occasionally.
For higher-value items, lenders might set borrower criteria, such as only lending to people with at least a few previous borrows and a rating of 4 stars or above.
