WELCOME TO HIPPOTM

“When evaluating the HIPPOBAGs against skips, there’s no comparison. HIPPO has saved us money and not having to sign for collection allows

our operatives to move swiftly onto the next job”

Andy Oates, Branch Manager, Mears Group

HIPPOBAGHIPPOBAG is the perfect alternative to skip hire. Enabling you to easily adjust to differing waste needs, without any additional administration. Our distinctive HIPPOBAG is available in a range of sizes:

MIDIBAG – measuring 1 cubic yard and holding up to 1 tonne. Our most popular product for home use - perfect for the disposal of garden, household and DIY waste, but also for general building waste.

MEGABAG – measuring 1.5 cubic yards and holding up to 1.5 tonnes. Designed for larger waste items such as doors, kitchen units and even an entire bathroom suite. Also suited to waste from larger DIY or garden projects.

MIGHTYBAG – measuring 4.5 cubic yards and holding up to 1.5 tonnes. Ideal for trade and the disposal of light, bulky items - such as old kitchen units, loft insulation or flooring.

Yard for yard, HIPPOBAG costs less than a traditional skip, eliminates void space and reduces double-handling - increasing operational efficiency.

HIPPOBAG is flexible and can be stored or shipped flat packed - providing an instant solution for waste disposal for your site based or mobile workforce.

HIPPO is the only UK waste management specialist with the infrastructure to offer a nationwide bag delivery and collection service.

THE ALTERNATIVE WASTE SOLUTIONUsing the HIPPOBAG for the segregation of heavy or bulk inert waste streams and ad hoc waste events, will provide you with a number of benefits in managing waste disposal across your national or

regional locations.

PLASTERBOARD RECYCLINGWith 100% of the waste recycled, we are experts in providing an environmentally friendly and sustainable option for your plasterboard disposal. We offer clear price per bag charges, with no hidden tonnage surcharges and no ties to any brand or manufacturer take-back schemes.

OUR WASTE SOLUTIONS

WHY USE HIPPO?

INSTALLATIONSWe understand the importance of minimising disruption and inconvenience to both the customer

and neighbouring properties during domestic remodelling. Managing waste effectively, during an

installation, can help to differentiate your service and enhance your brand reputation.

HIPPOBAG helps operatives to maintain a tidy working environment at all times. Ideally suited for a

mobile workforce, there’s no waiting around for a skip to arrive and the HIPPOBAG is delivered

flat-packed – making it easy to stow away until needed.

The 1.5 cubic yard MEGABAG has been specifically designed to contain a complete bathroom suite,

whilst the 4.5 cubic yard MIGHTYBAG was developed with kitchen and larger bathroom installation

projects in mind.

The flexible HIPPOBAG eliminates void space, unlike an equivalent-sized rigid container

Savings of up to 40% are achievable over the standard industry cost of waste disposal following rip-out

Avoid minimum tonnage surcharges from waste transfer stations

Double-handling is reduced, increasing productivity and shortening turnaround times

HIPPOBAG is easy to remove, even within confined environments

The nationwide, unsupervised collection service means there’s no need for operatives to remain on site once the

installation is complete

Assistance in controlling the waste from sub contracted work forces and peace of mind that your waste is being

disposed of legally and ethically

A single waste report for national installations

HIPPO is a well known and trusted national brand, reassuring your customers and enhancing their experience

We work with many of the UK’s leading installation services and can help you understand your waste responsibilities

and save you money

WHY USE HIPPO?

HOUSING MAINTENANCE & RENOVATIONWe have collected over half a million HIPPOBAGs from residential properties, so we understand the

challenges of waste disposal in the process of improving social housing and transforming

neighbourhoods. What’s required is a responsive waste collection service to minimise the social

and environmental impact of your operations and help you fulfil your duty of care to the

communities in which you work.

A typical social housing project produces two to five cubic yards of waste from kitchen units,

bathroom suites and central heating systems. Designed for the needs of a mobile workforce,

HIPPOBAG is available in three sizes, so you’ll always have the right size for the job.

Eliminate double-handling and down time, as waste can be dealt

with at each property, rather than a central location

Volume discounts available for Housing Associations and

Decent Homes contractors

Reduce your environmental impact with multiple HIPPOBAG

collections which reduces your carbon footprint

Fully-trained drivers carry out unsupervised collections, allowing

your operatives to move straight onto their next job

Avoid the legal risks of operatives disposing of waste independently

GRANTS UP FOR GRABSHIPPO’s ‘Grants up for Grabs’ scheme awards free waste disposal to applications from UK charities, community groups and organisations that inspire respect for the environment or have a positive effect on the community.

facility. In our efforts to divert as much re-usable material as possible from landfill, we typically recycle over 90% of

business waste - reducing our customers’ exposure to landfill tax and promoting more sustainable operations.

CLEAR ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTINGIn addition to the Waste Transfer Note accompanying all collections, to fulfil legal requirements,

business customers can benefit from access to our waste reporting system. This provides clear

reporting of environmental performance on a site-by-site basis – including collection method, a

breakdown by waste stream and percentage of landfill diversion. This effectively equips you with

a complete audit trail to demonstrate compliance with all prevailing legislation.

fleet of vehicles, reducing consumption of energy and materials, and recycling as much as

possible of our own waste. Minimising our use of energy and resources also enables us to

achieve cost savings, which we can pass on to our customers.
