Moving out of student accommodation and staring at a pile of stuff that definitely isn’t fitting in the car? Before any of it ends up in a bin bag, there’s an option that’s better for the planet \u2013 and brings a little joy to someone in your neighbourhood too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it takes less than a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s called Olio. And it’s completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you give away when moving out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than you’d think. Here are the things people most often forget they can pass on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddf4 Toiletries and cosmetics \u2013 go for it, even if they’ve been opened
\ud83e\udd55 Food \u2013 loose, raw, cooked, or unopened. Tins, tea bags, cooking oil, condiments \u2013 everything’s welcome as long as it’s in date
\ud83e\udeb4 Plants \u2013 someone local will absolutely give them a home
\ud83e\uddfc Cleaning products \u2013 even half a bottle of Flash or leftover washing powder
\ud83e\ude91 Furniture \u2013 the desk lamp, the IKEA shelf, the bedside table
\ud83d\udc56 Clothes and shoes \u2013 anything that’s no longer your vibe (or never was)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still not sure what you can and can’t share? The full guidelines are here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to give stuff away before you leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Download Olio free on iOS<\/a> or Android
<\/a>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Snap a photo of what you’re giving away
3\ufe0f\u20e3 Upload your listing \u2013 it takes under a minute
4\ufe0f\u20e3 Someone nearby claims it, usually within hours
5\ufe0f\u20e3 They collect from your door. Done \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No endless bags of rubbish. No landfill guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
