Recycling and sustainability are now among the most important issues not only in Switzerland, but worldwide. At Müllex, we focus on the continuous development of our products and ensure that they are adapted to changing customer needs. Built-in waste bins are a wonderful solution for anyone who wants a uniform, clear line in the kitchen.

Built-in waste bins make waste disposal easier and can be adapted to your individual needs. Find out here what you should look out for when choosing a built-in waste bin.

Why should I choose a built-in trash can?

A built-in waste bin offers you many practical advantages. Such a waste bin can be built into a cupboard. In many kitchens, the cupboard below the sink is chosen for the installation of the waste bin.

The waste bin should be easy and quick to reach. The space under the sink is central in many kitchens and you can quickly dispose of any waste there. Are there cuttings on the worktop? Then simply open the waste bin and the worktop will be clean again in no time.

A built-in waste bin also has advantages from an aesthetic point of view. It is not in the middle of the room and does not attract attention. When the door is closed, it is well hidden behind the kitchen front. This gives your kitchen a uniform look.

How do I find the right built-in trash can?

If you want to buy a built-in trash can and are thinking about a waste separation system, there are a few things to consider.

What type of waste do you want to dispose of?

Think in advance about what kind of waste is generated in your kitchen. Do you want to dispose of different types of waste? Recyclable materials should be collected and disposed of separately so that they can be recycled. How many types of waste you want to separate determines how many containers your waste separation system should have. Also consider the volume generated by each type of waste.

What capacity should the waste container have?

Another thing you should consider when buying a built-in waste bin is the capacity or volume. If your household produces a large amount of waste every day, then choose a waste bin that is large enough. Waste separation systems must have a larger capacity if they are used in households with multiple people.

For a household with just one or two people, a smaller garbage bin may be appropriate. Ask yourself in advance how much garbage accumulates each day. If the garbage bin is too big for your household, you may constantly have to dispose of half-empty garbage bags. If the bin is too small for your household, you may have to take the garbage out several times a day.

Neither option is ideal. When choosing a built-in trash can, you should also pay attention to the capacity.

Do you want to place the built-in waste bin in the base cabinet under the sink? Or should it be in an adjacent base cabinet? In any case, you need to measure the space available. There are often water and waste water installations under the sink. Include these in your planning. Basically, built-in waste bins are available in different sizes. To find the right waste system, the configurator can help by filtering the available options based on size, capacity and other important factors.

At Müllex, you have a very flexible system at your disposal with the X-LINE products. We offer suitable built-in waste bins for body widths from 400 to 900 millimeters. We also have suitable products for the most common drawer widths of 550 and 600 millimeters. With this system, you can adapt your waste separation system precisely to your base cabinet.

Should the waste separation system have a lid or a cover?

Should the waste separation system have a cover or not? It is a question of personal needs and taste. Some people prefer a cover as a storage area for cleaning utensils and cleaning products. Others prefer a drawer as a storage option.

Our built-in trash cans have a practical drawer that can be used as a storage area. It can serve as a practical storage space for cleaning utensils, batteries, organic waste, coffee capsules, dishwasher tablets, sponges and cleaning cloths. This way you have everything to hand and don't have to search for long.

Please note that although a cover is better at keeping out strong odors, it does not seal the waste bin completely airtight. However, the drawer of our built-in waste bins offers similar functionality without having to do without a cover. So think in advance about which solution suits you and your needs best. With the products from the BOXX-R range, you can use additional containers.

How high are your quality requirements for a waste separation system?

A waste separation system consists of many different components. The system only functions smoothly when they all work together perfectly. At Müllex, we ensure that all components work together perfectly. We have several decades of experience in developing and manufacturing waste separation systems.

What types of built-in trash cans are there?

If you decide on a built-in waste bin, you will also benefit from the large selection. You can choose between different models. There are models with two or more containers. Choose your waste bin so that it suits you and your needs.

Basically, you have the choice between a waste bin and a waste separation system that you can install. With just one waste bin, you have one container for collecting waste. With a waste separation system, you have several containers that you can use to separate your waste. Each type of waste bin has its own advantages.

A waste bin impresses with the following features:

Built-in trash can from an experienced professional

Above all, we expect reliability from a built-in waste bin. The waste separation system for your kitchen should therefore come from a professional. At Müllex, we have many years of experience in the development and manufacture of waste separation systems. In the 1970s, there was no proper system for collecting waste in Switzerland. Bulky waste bins were often placed in the middle of the room.

Müllex wanted to remedy the situation and brought a plastic waste separation system onto the market. Since then, our products have been present in numerous Swiss households. Our waste separation systems make daily waste disposal easier for you. Benefit from a well-thought-out waste separation system and configure your built-in waste bin individually.
