Iceland collection timings (Lucky Dip & FWH)


🕒 How do collection timings work at Iceland?

Since the introduction of Lucky Dip, there’s even more happening in Iceland stores at the end of each day! 

Iceland stores now follow a set timing schedule, where everything is planned backwards from the store’s closing time. This ensures all end-of-day steps fit together smoothly.


Example schedule (for a store closing at 9:00pm):

  • 📝 8:00 pm – Store completes waste process and confirms Lucky Dip & Food Waste Hero (1 hour before closing)
  • 🛍 8:30 – 8:45 pm – Lucky Dip purchase window (starts 30 minutes before closing)
  • 🤝 8:45 pm – Food Waste Hero collection (15 minutes before closing)
  • 9:00 pm – Store closes

If your store closes earlier, just count back from closing - everything stays in the same order, based on the store’s own closing time (or latest 9:00 pm).


The rules:

  • 📝 Confirmation: 1 hour before closing (or latest 8:00 pm)
  • 🛍 Lucky Dip purchase window: Starts 30 minutes before closing
  • 🤝 Food Waste Hero collection: 15 minutes before closing
  • Closing time: The store’s usual closing time, or latest 9:00 pm

❗Remember: Work backwards from 9pm if your store closes after this time.
