Waste bin in the kitchen for effortless waste separation
The kitchen is the hub of the house. People cook, live and work in the kitchen. It's no wonder that garbage is collected here. And it's no wonder that nobody wants to see garbage in the kitchen after it's been disposed of. For decades there was no perfect solution for this. With Müllex's waste containers, this has changed fundamentally.
Our waste container systems can be integrated into any kitchen. Waste separation in various collection stations has been established in Switzerland for years. The logical consequence is that Swiss households need functional and high-quality waste containers for different types of waste.
On the one hand, this can be explained by an increased sense of visual demands in the living environment. The home is a place of refuge from hectic everyday life. Who wants to trip over free-standing trash cans in the kitchen?
On the other hand, the increasing need for sensible waste container systems can be explained by the increased sense of sustainability. The Swiss are becoming more environmentally conscious - and with it the need for sensible waste separation. Especially when renovating existing houses, there are many ways to integrate sustainability into the concept. Müllex makes this easy when it comes to waste.
Which waste should be sensibly separated in the kitchen?
In Switzerland, there are many different options for waste disposal, and the trend towards using these systems is increasing. Recyclable waste is already separated at home and taken to the various collection points. Below we give you a brief overview of how to dispose of various types of waste.
Organic waste

It goes into the compost bin in the kitchen and from there into the organic waste bin or onto the compost.
Garbage
There are fee bags available for garbage. They are conveniently placed in Müllex waste containers for convenient waste separation.
PET
There are public collection containers for this, for example in retail stores. The environmentally friendly option is to drink tap water, which is traditionally of very good quality in Switzerland.
Medicines

Expired or opened medicines must not be thrown away. Pharmacies will take them back. However, if they are flushed down the toilet, there is a risk of the active ingredients contaminating drinking water.
Lamps
Old light bulbs and LEDs are taken back free of charge by specialist retailers.
Aluminum
Cans, aluminum foil, old tubes – aluminum and also tinplate are shredded with cutters in recycling centers and prepared for reuse.
Paper / Carton
Cardboard and paper waste is disposed of separately or together, depending on the collection system, and recycled at municipal collection points. Cardboard and paper waste includes, among others:
- Contents pages of books without covers
- Journals and magazines
- Egg cartons Vegetable and fruit cartons without wax coating
- Wrapping paper
- Detergent boxes
- Corrugated cardboard boxes
In the garbage, however, must be:
- Pizza boxes
- Used baking paper
- Wet-strength paper
- Dirty cardboard parts
- Plastic-coated paper
- Soup bags
- Feed bags

What makes Müllex waste bins so special?

This begins with the expandable sack crown for fee sacks. The storage drawer with plenty of space for sack rolls and the like is also impressively practical to use.
