Prize:

13. There will be 3 winners in total. The prize is 1 x HIPPO MIDIBAG and collection for each winner.

Winners will be asked to share their address and photos of the access outside their property to assess its suitability for a HIPPO collection.

 When a winner comes to request a collection, a HIPPO agent will double check accessibility and that the winner has read the terms and conditions prior to a truck being sent. If the winner has not followed those conditions we will not collect.

Once HIPPO is notified of the winner’s full name and address the MIDIBAG will be sent via courier: delivery is 2-3 days to GB only. Restrictions apply.

Prize winners can use the MIDIBAG to declutter/remove waste and then book a HIPPO collection to remove the filled bag within 6 months of receiving the MIDIBAG. Check here to see what you can and can’t put in your HIPPO MIDIBAG: https://www.hippowaste.co.uk/faqs/#hippobag-contents

After 6 months, the collection will no longer be possible and the prize will be invalid. When the bag is full, the winners must contact HIPPO to request their collection which will take place up to 5 full working days from booking.

Further information about the collection, including how to check if your address is eligible, can be found here: https://www.hippowaste.co.uk/book-a-collection/.

If a winner’s home address does not meet the criteria required for a HIPPO collection and this is referenced by the winner at the point of claiming the prize, an alternative prize element, of the same or greater value, will be offered instead of the HIPPO MIDIBAG and collection. Further conversation about the alternative prize element will not be entered into.

HIPPO will collect from anywhere in GB, apart from some very remote postcode areas which their vehicles have difficulty reaching. If you want to check your area, please call on 0333 999 0 999. HIPPO must be made aware of any parking or loading restrictions that might affect collection e.g. red routes etc at the time of booking.

HIPPO reserves right to refuse collection if collection requirements are not met. Make sure that our collection representative can access the collection site at any time between 6am and 9pm seven days a week, even if nobody is there. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse collection if a bag is positioned beyond the reach of our vehicle, our lorry would need to drive onto block paving, the crane operation is obstructed, our collection representative cannot gain access to the site, or if the bag is overloaded, overfilled, damaged or contains anything other than ordinary household, garden or builders’ waste (refer to ‘What can you put in a HIPPOBAG?’ here https://www.hippowaste.co.uk/faqs/#hippobag-contents).

Please advise staff at time of booking of any restrictions that may apply to the collection site e.g. red route network, no parking, no waiting etc.

If collection is unsuccessful for any of these reasons it may not be possible to complete the collection element of the prize and no further prize or cash alternative will be discussed. Please be aware that the HIPPO fleet are costly to run so for this and environmental reasons we aim to keep mileage to a minimum. Please see HIPPO terms and conditions for details: https://www.hippowaste.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/

14. No cash or other alternative prize will be provided in whole or in part, except that in the event of circumstances outside of its control the Promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize, or part of the prize, with a similar prize of equal or greater value.
