Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and appliance removal is one of the calls we get most often here. Lowell is a true mill city — the canals and downtown lofts, the triple-deckers of Centralville and the Acre, the older homes of Belvidere and Pawtucketville, all packed tight along the Merrimack. From the Highlands to Back Central to the streets around UMass Lowell, we know the dense blocks, the tight driveways, and the parking squeeze. Whether you're over in Belvidere or up in Pawtucketville, we know the route — and we've been doing this work for three generations.
We remove all major and minor appliances — refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, microwaves, and water heaters. Old fridges and freezers require freon handling at a certified facility, and we take care of that step for you. No appliance is too heavy or awkward — that's literally the job.

Why Lowell calls us
Three generations, one phone number
Drouco Waste Removal has been a family-run waste removal business in southern New Hampshire for over 50 years — three generations of the same family showing up, working hard, and treating every job like the customer is our neighbor (because usually, they are). That's not a marketing line — it's how we've stayed in business this long.
No purple bags, no WM appointment — they just took it.
The Lowell disposal guide
Rather haul it yourself? Here's exactly how Lowell's town disposal works — the passes, the hours, the item rules. Or skip all of it and let us handle the run.
- AppliancesWhite goods (fridges, freezers, stoves, washers, dryers) are MA waste-ban items — not curbside; schedule a WM bulk pickup (fee).
- TVs & e-wasteElectronics are banned from curbside trash in Massachusetts — special disposal required.
- Brush & yard wasteYard waste collected seasonally by zone; check the Lowell DPW schedule.
- MattressesMattresses/box springs are MA waste-ban 'illegal' items at the curb (since 11/1/22) — special pickup only.
- Tricky itemsLowell is in Massachusetts, which means hard waste bans: mattresses and box springs are illegal at the curb, and white goods (fridges, freezers, stoves, washers, dryers) and electronics can't go out with normal trash either. Overflow trash needs $1-plus purple city bags (max five a week), and bulky pickups have to be scheduled and paid through Waste Management at 1-800-972-4545. Drouco handles the banned items, the heavy lifting, and the disposal in one trip.
FAQ
Questions Lowell homeowners ask
Can you take an old fridge or freezer in Lowell?
Yes — fridges and freezers are one of the most common calls we get in Lowell. We handle freon-bearing units the right way, through certified recycling facilities. You don't need to do anything special before we arrive.
Do I need to disconnect the appliance myself?
No. We disconnect washers, dryers, dishwashers, gas and electric ranges — all of it. As long as we have safe access to the shutoff, we take care of the rest.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lowell?
Single-appliance pickups in Lowell start at a flat rate. Multiple appliances run cheaper per unit. Call 603-484-9300 for a same-day quote.
Can you remove appliances from a basement or upstairs?
Yes. Most appliance jobs we run in Lowell involve stairs, bulkheads, or tight basements. Our crew is built for it — no extra fee for stairs.
What if my appliance still works?
If it's in working shape, we'll route it to a donation partner whenever we can. Just let us know on the phone so we can flag it.
