Our mission - Our story

HIPPO’s mission is to be the UK’s leading rubbish clearance provider, delivering outstanding service, relied on and trusted by customers to put the environment at the forefront of what we do.

In 2002, HIPPO was founded with the goal to provide a flexible rubbish removal alternative to the cumbersome metal skips through the innovation of HIPPOBAGs. We started small, just in Hampshire, but like any great idea it has grown at an incredible rate over the years. In no time we were being stocked in thousands of Britain’s best known DIY retail stores so anyone could buy a bag just down the road. While all this was going on, HIPPO had begun supporting both small, medium and large businesses up and down the country with unique solutions to their individual waste needs. Today, HIPPO serves the needs of some of the UK’s most iconic organisations and brands, so don’t be surprised to see a big yellow HIPPBAG on a street near you.

By 2006, HIPPO had collected over 100,000 HIPPOBAGs, as well as being recognised as ‘Innovation Business of the Year’ at the RBS Regional Business Awards. 2006 also saw the launch of HIPPO’s charity support through the ‘Grants up For Grabs’ scheme, which has gone on to help dozens of worthy causes across the UK.

Fast forwarding to 2012 and HIPPO had expanded its offering, to include a Man & Van solution to provide additional flexibility and service to all customers. It also happened to be the year of HIPPO’s one millionth HIPPOBAG collection. The HIPPO message was clearly making a difference!

Continued growth allowed HIPPO to reaffirm its name as an industry leader by launching HIPPOTRADE – another HIPPO innovation for our ever expanding trade partners. More bespoke vehicles were added to our unique fleet guaranteeing we could ensure our five-star service commitment to customers, new and old.

By 2016, HIPPO had firmly established themselves and continues to storm across the UK. We’re proud of everything our people deliver day in, day out and yet we will never be complacent when it comes to putting our customers first. Why not try one of our many services – we have a solution for everyone.
