F.A.Q.
Yes, our bottle-pickup service is completely free for companies.
We’re a registerd non-profit-organisation. In the beginning we plan to keep 50% from all deposits paid out, in order to cover our costs for drivers, trucks, gas, administration etc., in order to keep the operation running. However, our goal is to maximize the amount of money the destination organisation will receive.
We collect plastic bottles, glass bottles and cans bought in Finland and eligible for deposit return.
Our usual bottle pick-up times are from Monday to Friday, between 08.00 - 18.00. You can either book a one-time pickup, or request a periodical pick-up (e.g. once a week, once a month, once a quarter) at a time that suits you best.
One of our dedicated drivers will come by to your office and do the job for you - no need to take your bottles anywhere.
We currently offer CharityBo in Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa only.
No need to worry if your organization doesn't consume a large number of drinks. We can supply you with a complimentary branded cardboard bin, which has a capacity of approximately 120 liters and a height of 74 cm, along with plastic bags for your convenience. Once the bin is full, you can quickly schedule a pickup by visiting our web application at https://app.charitybo.fi and following the simple steps.
Some may believe that our activities require a fundraising permit. However, we submitted an official inquiry to the permission department of the police station in Kilo, Espoo. They responded that our collection of cans and subsequent donation of money do not necessitate a permit. We can provide a copy of the email response upon request.
