What size skip do I need?

Muldex offers seven sizes in three systems: the skip (Welaki) in 4, 7 and 10 m³, the hook-lift container (roll-off container) in 20 and 36 m³, and the flat skip in 5 and 10 m³. The Welaki is lifted by a skip loader and needs little space; the roll-off container is winched onto the truck with a hook lift and holds considerably more. The flat skip is the low, open version for heavy mineral waste — its low sides make it easy to load by hand or with an excavator.

Seven cubic metres is roughly 78 wheelbarrow loads of 90 litres. For a typical kitchen or bathroom renovation this size is usually enough; with bulky, light material such as wood or furniture, however, the volume fills up faster than you would think.

Mixed rubble and building rubble are accepted in the 4, 7 and 10 m³ Welaki sizes and in the 5 and 10 m³ flat skips. The 7 m³ Welaki is the size ordered most often. What matters more than the size is keeping the material separate: pure demolition concrete costs considerably less to dispose of than mixed demolition waste.

For bulky waste from clearing a flat or a house, the 20 m³ roll-off container is usually the most economical choice — it holds about as much as three 7 m³ Welaki skips but needs only one trip. For very large clearances or commercial quantities, the 36 m³ is an option.

Up to the top edge, but not above it. Nothing may stick out over the edge, because otherwise the load cannot be transported securely and the collection has to be refused. With heavy materials such as concrete or excavated soil, the permitted payload is also often reached before the skip looks full.

The Welaki is a skip: low, open, set down to the side by a skip loader — ideal when you fill it by hand or with small machines and space is tight. The roll-off container is a hook-lift container: it is winched onto the vehicle, holds considerably more and needs a straight, firm access route. The flat skip also comes on a hook-lift truck, but it is low and open and designed for heavy mineral waste.

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.

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.
