Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and demolition contractor 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.
Drouco operates as a demolition contractor for small residential structures: sheds, detached garages, decks, screen porches, additions, pool houses, chicken coops, swing sets, and similar. We handle the tear-down, the load-out, and the proper disposal of all materials. over 50 years of work in New England means we know the permit landscape and the right transfer stations.

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.
Took a mattress and an old fridge the city wouldn't touch.
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
What kind of demolition work do you do in Lowell?
Small residential structures — sheds, garages, decks, additions, screen porches, swing sets, chicken coops, pool houses. We don't do full house demolitions; for that you want a heavy-equipment outfit.
Do I need a permit?
Depends on the structure and the Lowell building department. Small sheds and decks usually don't; detached garages and additions usually do. We'll tell you what we know.
How much does demolition cost in Lowell?
Varies widely by structure size and disposal volume. We quote on-site after we see the work.
Do you handle asbestos or lead?
No — those require certified abatement contractors. If we suspect either is present, we'll flag it and recommend the right specialist before any work starts.
How quickly can you start?
Most Lowell small-structure demolitions can be scheduled within 1–2 weeks.
