A skip for your house clearance

That depends on whether you clear the house yourself or have it cleared. If you clear it yourself and only need the disposal, the container is the whole bill: at Muldex, a 20 m³ roll-off container for bulky waste costs CHF 2410 in zone 1, including transport, disposal and VAT. A full clearance by a hired crew costs many times that — there you are mainly paying for working hours.

For a 2- to 3-room flat, a 10 m³ skip (Welaki) or a 20 m³ roll-off container is usually enough. From four rooms upwards, the 20 m³ roll-off container is the more economical choice: it holds about three times as much as a 7 m³ Welaki, but needs only one trip.

Furniture, mattresses, carpets, plastics, toys, curtains, suitcases — the mixed household contents that are neither hazardous waste nor a single sorted material. What does not belong in it: electrical appliances, fridges, paints, chemicals, batteries and used oil. These must be disposed of separately; otherwise the disposal plant turns them away.

The first 14 days are included in the price, which is enough for most clearances. After that, each additional day costs CHF 5, charged at collection for the days the container actually stayed.

No. In Switzerland, shops are obliged to take back electrical and electronic appliances, and you can return them free of charge wherever such appliances are sold — the advance recycling fee was already paid when they were bought. In a bulky-waste container, they lead to the load being reclassified and so to extra costs.

Take time to go through everything before the container arrives: in our experience, documents, jewellery, photos and valuables often only turn up on the second pass. It is practical to order the container only once the home has been gone through — the hire time starts on delivery.

We usually deliver within 24–48 hours of your order. When you order, you choose the delivery date and the half-day (morning or afternoon).

We offer skips for building rubble, excavated soil, mixed rubble, concrete, roof tiles and bricks, inert materials, bulky waste, green waste, waste wood, flat glass, Eternit and combustible waste for incineration. Each skip takes one type of waste only, kept separate.

Yes. The price shown includes transport (delivery and collection), disposal and the statutory VAT of 8.1%. No hidden costs.

We serve the whole of German-speaking Switzerland and French-speaking Switzerland (Romandie) — Geneva, Vaud, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Jura included. In Valais, we deliver to the Chablais and the Martigny area from our depot in Bex. Ticino, Graubünden and Uri are not yet served.

You can choose: pay straight away with TWINT, or by invoice, payable within 15 days once the job is complete. With TWINT, you receive all the payment details (with your order number as the payment reference) by email and on the confirmation page.

The first 14 days are included in the price. Each additional day is charged at CHF 5 per day — shown transparently and only billed at collection.

Not on private ground — a driveway, courtyard or building site. As soon as the skip stands on public ground, that is on the road, the pavement or a public parking space, you need a permit from the municipality or the city police. The person placing the order obtains the permit; on request, we provide the skip’s dimensions and weight.

Each skip is filled with a single material — one type of waste per skip. If foreign material is found when the load arrives at the disposal plant, the load has to be reclassified, which causes extra costs. If in doubt, just ask us before you fill the skip.
