Hippowaste Waste Bags - www.hippowaste.co.uk Review

“I think Hippowaste Waste Bags are a reasonable price...”

Written on: 06/08/2008

Good Points
Good if you need to get rid of lightweight general household goods.

Bad Points
They didn't guarantee collection within 5 days.
Advise you to read the small print before you buy it has conditions for heavier items.
Need to place it within 4 meters of a public highway.

General Comments
I think Hippowaste Waste Bags are a reasonable price if you have a small amount of household waste to get rid of, not if it is soil or heavy items. To start the bags are painful if you are filling them with loose material like soil, they don't keep their shape and you keep having to try and shift the soil around to get it level. And the small print says that for soil you can only fill it to 2/3rds which then works out more expensive than a skip. Also remember you will have to wait for a day that suits them for it to be collected. I booked a collection online but they were unable to collect. I had gravel due to be delivered the following week so I had to empty the bags onto the lawn in front of the house, hire a skip and reload the soil into a skip to get it taken away in time. Waste of time, money and energy for me won't do it again.
