I put on for some non food items, and olio, in their wisdom or lack thereof, decides to include then in a up to 100 item per every four 4 weeks.

They alo include food items on the same up to 100 a month quota.

 

Here is my rant on their forums, I wonder if they will remove it like they they removed other posts of mine.

I have just had it confirmed, that folk avoid requesting personal items advertised, as they prefer to save the food items, due to the quotas being mixed.

 

When non food items ads expire, there are other platforms to advertise them on, or get donated to charity/thrift stores.

 

When food adverts expire, good food ends up in landfills, if;

 

1) the food is not suitable to compost,

2) olio'ers do not have the room to compost,

3) olio'ers do not have the facilities or know how, to compost

4) olio'ers are not allowed to have more than their 10%

5) olio'ers do not have canine, feline or other mammals as food disposal systems 

 

For some it could mean the difference of eat or starve. Yes folk can go to foodbanks, yet that also defeats the objectives to save via olio, when we should be promoting and recruiting olio to all, not just a few.

 

Which builds a larger community to save more food from going to the landfill
