Super easy !
Bought a bag and collection together as a spring special so also had 30%(?) off . Bag arrive within a couple of days . The builders filled it to overflowing but Hippowaste still happily collected it no problems. I would definitely recommend them and happily use them again , but best to look out for the offers/discounts . 🤩

Hello,
Thanks for the review! Sounds like you got a good deal and a good clear-out. 😄
Fair play to your builders for making the most of the bag! We're glad collection was straightforward and that everything was taken away without any issues.
Thanks for the recommendation, and you're absolutely right, it's always worth keeping an eye out for our offers when they come around.

My only concern is that there is so much stuff that you cannot put in the Hippo and this only becomes clear once all the details are sent .

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate you pointing that out.
We try to be as clear as possible about what can and can't go in a HIPPOBAG, but we understand it can be frustrating if you only spot some of the restrictions after ordering. We'll pass your comments on, as making that information easier to find upfront is always helpful.
Thanks for choosing HIPPO, and we're glad we could still help with your waste removal project.

The hippo bag is such a useful tool for households. There's no rush to return it but when you do need to return it, it is picked up quickly and efficiently.

Hello,
Thanks for the review! That's exactly what a HIPPOBAG is designed for - giving you the flexibility to fill it in your own time, then having it collected quickly once you're ready.
We're glad it's proved so useful and that the collection process has been smooth and hassle-free.
Thanks for choosing HIPPO!

The bag was delivered next day and then removed within two days of collection request. The driver Lee was professional and helpful, he completed the collection swiftly. I have now ordered a second bag! Highly recommended.

Good useful service
Used a hippobag! Good size - holds a lot. As not a metal skip, kinder to grass or as in my case slate chippings on front garden.
Easy to order (with or without prepaid collection). Fast delivery. Arrives folded in post - 6 months to arrange return. Good instructions. Cutomer phone number clearly shown so you can speak to a person! Ordered while offer on! When ready, go online to arrange collection. You do not have to be present when they collect. So easy- used few times before, will use again. Great company.

Quick collection
I have used several midi hippobags in the past.
This time I needed the big one, for a bedroom refitting project. I chose to have a hipposkip instead of a conventional metal skip for two reasons: (1) I know that hippobags are collected promptly (unlike ordinary skips, which you can wait weeks for collection); (2) the trucks that collect hippobags have a long-reach crane so I could place the hipposkip on my lawn, keeping my drive and the road clear. The bag was collected on 3rd day after booking. Excellent service! Thank you. I'll be back for more ...
