TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS PEOPLE THROW AWAY BY HIPPOWASTE™
If you’re having a spring clean this weekend and are clearing out your loft or garage, you might want to double check exactly what you are throwing away!
A live tortoise, an old mattress stuffed with £5,000, an entire 25 year collection of The Beano and a suitcase full of human skulls are just some of the weird and wonderful items that have ended up in our bins according to a new survey on what people throw away.
National waste management firm HIPPOWASTE™, operators of the HIPPOBAG™, surveyed 100 waste transfer stations and household tips across the country to find the top 10 strangest things people throw away.

2. An entire collection of The Beano spanning 25 years
6. An entire man’s wardrobe including golf clubs thrown away by disgruntled wife who discovered he was having an affair
7. Contents of a police evidence bag for a court case
8. Top secret documents and blueprints for a British aircraft carrier
10. Travel agency takings of £200,000 that was thrown away in black bin liners and required a major recovery operation

What is "the Beano?" I thought it was that stuff you take so you dont fart? Why would anyone have a 25 year collection of it? Has it been around that long?
Dear Andrew: Beano is a pill you take to stop flatulance from beans.
Boinky...
No offense intended, but I signed up for an account just to point out to you how useless your answer was. Did you read Andrew's question, in which he said right off that he thought it was what you said it was?
Three seconds on Google taught me that "The Beano" (not just "Beano") is a comic published in the UK.
HIPPOBAGS - the company is an absolute joke, i used a bag over easter and called to have it collected, which they did within 2 days, i then received my credit card statement and they have charged me not once but 3 times 164.25 has been deducted from my account and im still waiting for the money back and have been offered free bags and pickup as compensation, the staff here are rude and unhelpful and the manager (ben clarkes) who has yet to answer my 3 complaint letters. stay away from this company
I have to say that I am a fan of the Hippobag. I used it a month ago after a recommendation from a family member. From the initial phone call to having the bag collected I was really impressed. Such an efficient service to use. I will definitely be using the bag again.
