this was my first time using a hippo bag - went for the mega bag as some of the items i was getting rid of were long > bag delivered next working day and received it before bank holiday weekend which meant i could start clearing the junk sooner - managed to load the bag up by the Saturday and booked collection over the bank holiday - was very happy when the lorry turned up weds morning - driver was very friendly and didn't take long in craning the bag out of my garden - dont think ive enough junk to fill another one but if i did i wouldn't hesitate in using this service again and happy to leave 5 star feedback and happy to recommend HIPPO BAGS to anyone

No fuss, great service
The process was really easy, from ordering the bag to having it collected once we'd filled it. A truly no fuss experience.

Not as convenient or cheap as they say it is.
Supposedly the more convenient version of a skip but, in practice, this is far from the truth.
The bag itself is more convenient to acquire - they just post it to you. Other than that you are better off getting a skip.
The bag is a fair bit smaller than a small skip for not a lot less money.
It's trickier to fill it effectively as the whole thing flops about as you are trying to do so.
The worst part is collection. Apparently Hippo have the biggest and most inconvenient collection lorry available so despite everyone in my street having had a skip dropped off and collected from the back lane at some time, Hippo couldn't collect my bag, which I was charged £84 for failed collection.
I now have to pay for a real skip, which I should have just done in the first place.
Don't bother.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and for the frustration this has caused, particularly around the failed collection and the charge applied.
We understand why this has felt disappointing, especially when you were expecting a more convenient alternative to skip hire. While our bags can be easier to deliver and store, we appreciate that they will not be the right solution for every situation and we’re sorry this was the case for you.
In relation to access, we would like to clarify that our collection vehicles are significantly larger than standard bin lorries, and we do not advise that a collection can be completed solely because a bin lorry has previously accessed a road or lane. Access suitability is based on our vehicle requirements, which are different to skips and refuse vehicles.
That said, if you were advised otherwise at any point, either on the website or during a phone call, this is something we take very seriously.
If you were told that collection would be possible based on bin lorry access, please contact us directly and ask to speak with our Customer Service Manager. We are more than happy to review the details and listen back to any relevant calls.
If incorrect advice was given, we will happily refund the £84 wasted journey charge.
We appreciate you sharing your feedback, as it helps us improve how we communicate and set expectations, and we would welcome the chance to review this properly with you.

I have had my Hippo Bag on my drive for 2 months and this was fine until I booked a collection on the 8th April. I was told 5 working days. No-one came and I then called to question why. I was told the driver turned up and there was no bag to collect ?? I asked the customer service lady to send me a photo of my driveway. Yea, you guessed it. It wasn’t even my house that the driver went to.
She apologised and promised it would be collected shortly. Tomorrow will make it 3 weeks since I requested a collection… STILL WAITING

Hello,
Thank you for your review and for explaining the situation, we’re really sorry for the inconvenience caused.
You’re absolutely right to expect better. Attending the wrong address and then the continued delay after this was identified is not acceptable, and we understand how frustrating this must be. We apologise that the collection wasn’t resolved promptly despite the reassurance you were given.
This has been shared with our teams so it can be addressed, and we’d really like the opportunity to put this right. Please contact our customer service team directly, so that we can prioritise your collection.
Thank you for your patience, and we’re sorry we’ve let you down.

Great but don't tell you when they are coming
Had some ridiculous quotes for a skip so went with this. I had a rough idea of the week they were coming so took the tarpaulin off and luckily it didn't rain. The guy didn't need any help and just took it straight off the drive. 4-star as I didn't know when they were coming and would have made the guesswork a bit easier.

We completely understand how not knowing the exact collection day can make things a bit uncertain, and we appreciate you raising this.
For future bookings, if you contact us once your collection is booked, we can arrange for you to receive a prior notice text message the evening before your collection is due, which many customers find really helpful.
Thanks again for choosing HIPPO and for your valuable feedback.

Please be very careful with HIPPO
Please be very careful with HIPPO. They assure you on the website and when I spoke to someone on the phone that they can collect if a bin lorry can get down your road. This is a lie. They will take any opportunity not to collect your bag and charge you nearly £100 for the process of a wasted journey.

Do not use!!
Paid over £300 for a skip bag to be collected from them only for them to turn around and denied the lift! According to the diver the bag was over the weight limit of 1.5 tone! Yet on the bag it’s says use it like a skip! And it’s a skip bag.
I waited all day for them to collect it but I had to chase them up, as they fail to contact me only to find out what happened.
As they denied the lift and their service was poor, I asked them for a full refund as they were not going to take my rubbish. As per agreement! They therefore charged me £84 out of the £300 refund for a waisted journey.. yet they are the ones that denied to take my rubbish. To heavy apparently.
The driver didn’t even get out of his vehicle to investigate the waste nor knock on my door to explain the situation. He Didn’t even try to lift the waste bag… Avoid at all cost or get your a proper skip..
Tell theirs customers to use theirs bags like a skip but can’t put heavy stuff in them. Joke of a place!

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re very sorry to hear how dissatisfied you feel with your experience, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify what happened.
Firstly, while our bags are often described as being used “like a skip,” they do have a strict maximum safe lifting weight of 1.5 tonnes. This limit is clearly stated in our Terms & Conditions, on our website, and is printed on supporting documentation with every bag. The weight limit is in place for safety reasons and applies regardless of the type of waste.
On the day of collection, our driver assessed that the bag was over the safe lifting limit. In these situations, drivers are not permitted to attempt a lift, as doing so could cause serious damage or injury.
The decision to refuse the lift is made to protect both people and property and is not taken lightly.
We’re sorry you were not contacted sooner on the day of collection. We understand this added to your frustration, and we acknowledge that communication could have been better in this instance.
Regarding the refund, when a collection is attended but cannot be completed due to access, overfilling, or excess weight, a wasted journey charge of £84 is applied. This charge is outlined in our Terms & Conditions, which are provided with every bag purchase. The charge reflects the cost of sending a specialist vehicle and crew to site, even where a lift cannot safely take place.
As for the driver not exiting the vehicle, drivers are trained to carry out an initial visual assessment from the lorry to determine whether a safe lift is possible. If it is clear that the bag exceeds weight limits, they are instructed not to proceed further.
We’re genuinely sorry that the service did not meet your expectations and that you feel dissatisfied with the value provided.
Your feedback has been noted and will be shared internally to help us improve communication and customer experience moving forward.

I’m sorry I disagree with many of the positive reviews. I found even their mega bag only about 20% of the size of a mini skip. Ok ok skips are not pretty things to have on your driveway but a hippo bag full of waste sitting there for days on end is not much better.
The company itself is totally disorganised. No notes are kept of your calls with them and promises made, even by the manager of their call centre, were broken. Promises of call backs and “keeping an eye on” the pick up were never kept.
At £264 for a mega bag I’m sorry it’s not good value. You can get a skip for much less.
Tread warily is my opinion.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We understand your frustration around both the size of the Mega Bag and the overall service you received. Our HIPPO Mega Bags are designed as an alternative to a skip, and while they do not match a mini skip in size, the exact dimensions and capacity are outlined on our website before booking so customers can make an informed decision.
In terms of collections, we aim to complete all bag collections within 5 working days of booking, and this timescale is communicated to all customers at the point of booking in the collection.
That said, we’re sorry if the waiting time caused inconvenience or contributed to the service feeling poor value for money.
Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams so we can improve.
We appreciate you sharing your honest experience, even where it is critical, as it helps us review and improve our service.

Ongoing mess around just to get it collected
The physical bag is fine, the price was okay. But getting them to collect it, thats the challenge!
5 working days later (the 5 working days they aim to collect) in came and went so I phoned to chase. They said oh dont worry its on the drivers route today ( this was 3pm) but he driver never showed. Called back next working day to be told oh the driver ran out of hours we will reschedule, but not today, we dont have any drivers in the area. What about tomorrow i asked. Oh we couldn't say, we don't know yet.
I live 5 minutes outside a major town, so its not exactly a remote location, they just seem to make claims in the advertising they can't keep.
And my poor neighbours have this eyesore on our driveway blocking everyone for over a week now. It'll be 7 working days and counting.
Just get a skip! At least skip companies collect the rubbish
