If you choose to use Hippobag or skip bag to recycle your waste, we can explain what types of waste you can place inside the Hippobag to make sure the Hippobag collection service we offer is efficient.

• Bathroom & Kitchen renovation, repairs & refurbishment of waste
• Furniture (broken down or as it is)

There are many items that are prohibited from placing in your Hippo bag. If items listed below are placed in the bag you could receive a waste journey for the Hippobag collection. The main items are hazardous waste for example asbestos, clinical waste, liquids, oily/rags, and batteries.

• Electrical appliances
• Paint
• Big tree roots

If you choose Hippowaste to remove your bag, they use Hippowaste trucks with a mechanical grab/arm to lift the bag up which has weight limits. The truck must be within a short distance to collect the bag normally within 4 meters. Waste King Skip bag service can collect within 20 meters and also remove prohibited items that Hippo Waste can not recycle.

There are many reasons for a failure to collect a Hippobag. The bag could be placed too far away for the mechanical arm to collect or there can be prohibited items inside the Hippo bag. Hippo trucks are HGV meaning they are very large and may have restrictions down small narrow roads. Alternatively, we can collect Hippobag or supply our own Waste bags to your property and our trucks are smaller which allows us to get to most locations.

Hippo waste has an option to buy online through their website or you can purchase the bags from DIY retailers like Wicks or B&Q. Other internet companies like Amazon are another way to purchase a Hippos bag. There are other companies that supply the same size and strength bags like a Skip bag and we can collect the bag through a man and van rubbish collector.

There are three sizes of Hippo bags, and each size is a different cost.

Midi Bag – collection fee £189.99 Inc VAT

Mega Bag – collection fee £189.99 Inc VAT

Hippo Bag – collection fee £299.99 Inc VAT

Collecting a Hippo Bag through our service is considerably cheaper.

There are plenty of other options to have the Hippo bag collected. If the bag is not full of soil or rubble, we can collect the Hippo bag. Most customers save money on lighter materials like bulky furniture or general light commercial or domestic waste.

Midi Bag – collection fee £138 Inc VAT Saving £51.99p

Mega Bag – collection fee £148.80p Inc VAT Saving £41.19p

Hippo Bag – collection fee £228 Inc VAT Saving £71.99p

The vehicles we use to collect the Hippos Bag are smaller and more fuel efficient meaning it cost us less to collect. We also process the rubbish through our own waste transfer station and Hippo Waste will generally tip their bags at an external waste transfer station like our facility. This pushes the cost up for the customer. Alternatively, you can book online our bag service
