Its an OLIO bread day - 3 loaves, 2 baguettes and 2 custard pies (for eating, not throwing).
The collector, Laura, offers lots of stuff on the night she collects it (from Tesco express shops) - but, if it has a use by date of that day, it can't be offered after midnight and has to be binned (OLIO rules). So sandwiches, salads, vegetables have a very short window for collection - usually between 10pm and 11.30pm. Bread is OK to be offered the following day.
This means that OLIO is not the great saviour of unsold food that we believe. They are still responsible for some food waste, food that most of us would use our judgement about. Would you really throw away a lettuce or bag of carrots because of its Use by date?? Crazy rules.
