Clever and compact: Discover the ideal waste bins for small kitchens

Published on January 18, 2024 from Müllex Redaktion

In a small kitchen, space-saving waste bins play a crucial role. Especially when space is limited, it is important to use the available space as optimally as possible. If you don't absolutely need something in the kitchen, it's better to leave it out. However, you can't do without a practical waste bin.

Even if you regularly shop at the market and use as little packaging as possible, you cannot completely avoid waste. This means that packaging, jars and bags must be sorted and recycled. In Switzerland, there are precise guidelines for waste separation. With the well-thought-out waste separation systems from Müllex, this can be achieved even in small spaces.

Which waste bins are suitable for small kitchens?

In small rooms, every centimeter counts. Proper organization is particularly important here. Waste separation should definitely be included in the planning and organization of a kitchen. The following solutions are suitable for kitchens with limited space:

Waste bin in the base cabinet: A base cabinet is considered to be the optimal solution for storing the waste bin. The space under the sink has proven to be particularly useful here. Waste often accumulates in the sink area, which can then be disposed of directly in the bin under the sink. This results in short distances and saves time.
Freestanding waste bins: If all the base cabinets are already planned and none are available, a freestanding waste bin can be an alternative. Narrow models are particularly suitable for kitchens with very small spaces. Freestanding bins can be placed discreetly in a corner, for example. If they are equipped with a pedal mechanism, the lid can be opened without using your hands.
Combined waste separation systems: If you want to save space and at the same time separate your waste properly, a waste separation system is a good idea. This involves combining several containers. They are different sizes and are perfect for different types of waste. Such space-saving kitchen solutions also promote environmentally friendly disposal.

There are several ways to equip kitchens with efficient waste disposal. Which option is most suitable depends on personal preferences and local conditions. With Müllex products, a waste separation system can be implemented even in small rooms.
