HIPPO Waste bags (Builders Bag Licence)

[DulwichFox]

Has anyone used HIPPO Waste Bags service.

I contacted HIPPO as a general enquiry to ask if a Permit was required like you need with a Skip.

I was told that a Permit was NOT required but a Builders Bag Licence was needed.

How does that work... ? Who do I need to contact. ?

If you?re getting a tonne bag delivered, just get them to crane it into your front yard - then problem/question goes away.

I just had a bag delivered, moved the car, but the guy suggested he just load it by winch into my front yard. Win-win.

My yard?s same size as yours Foxy.

The alternatives to front yard are, presumably, as here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/business/licences/roads-and-highway-licences.

Sounds like the good option..

Not sure if crane will reach if cars are parked outsize

Foxy..

Am I missing something, but does the bag need to be winched in if it's empty when delivered?...

Oh, I don?t know what hippo is, I assumed Foxy is getting a tonne of something delivered.

Either way they can lift over cars parked kerbside.

If delivering an empty bag, probably no crane required !

HIPPO Bags.. come in various sizes and carry up to 1.5 Tonnes

ETA :- Comes delivered as Flat Pack.. Then you fill it with more or less anything.

Recommended max 25% rubble soil.

With a skip, if you load it up while the lorry waits, you don't need a permit, I presume the same applies for the Hippo bags, so as you're not getting rid of a lot of waste, could you load it up while the the lorry waits?...

After Delivery you have 6 months to fill it up and arrange collection.

Took 3 weeks to fill my 8 yard skip for a job in my Back Garden.

Took away old fencing ... took up old Patio slabs.. soil .. rubble..

Needed space for new materials.. Skip was Full and taken away.

This is for new project and I have lots of left over material from previous job.

Back of my garden is a raised area which was decked. but needs replacing. (rotten)

10 x 2400mm lengths. and Battening.

Will take me a couple of days to fill bag. They do not wait while you do it.

All needs to be carried through the house.

Plus I have 20 brand new 45 x 45 slabs to get rid of that no one seems to want (FREE)

They might make the bag too heavy.
