Drouco has been serving Merrimack, NH families for over 50 years, and estate cleanouts is one of the calls we get most often here. Merrimack runs along the river between Nashua and Manchester, from Reeds Ferry up north to Thorntons Ferry and South Merrimack, with the Everett Turnpike splitting the town down the middle. Whether you're off D.W. Highway, back in the neighborhoods near the Souhegan River, or out by the outlets and the brewery, we can usually be on-site fast. Whether you're up in Reeds Ferry or down toward South Merrimack, we know the route — and we've been doing this work for three generations.
Estate cleanouts require a different kind of crew — patient, respectful, and careful about flagging anything that might matter. We work with executors, attorneys, and out-of-state family to empty a home top to bottom, identify items that may have value, and route the rest to donation, recycling, or proper disposal. over 50 years in this work means we've seen everything and we treat every job with respect.

Why Merrimack 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.
Quick, professional, and a lot cheaper than I expected.
The Merrimack disposal guide
Rather haul it yourself? Here's exactly how Merrimack's town disposal works — the passes, the hours, the item rules. Or skip all of it and let us handle the run.
- AppliancesLarge/small appliances and white goods (fridges, washers, dryers) accepted as bulky waste — per-item fees apply.
- TVs & e-wasteElectronics — TVs, computers, monitors, microwaves, VCR/DVD/CD players — accepted for a per-item fee.

- MattressesMattresses and box springs accepted as bulky waste with a per-item fee.
- Tricky itemsMerrimack runs everything through the Transfer Station on Fearon Road, Tuesday-Saturday 8am-4pm, and you need an annual permit decal (renewed every January at the station or Town Hall) plus your NH license and registration just to get in. Bulky items — appliances, furniture, carpets, mattresses, white goods — and electronics like TVs and computers all carry per-item fees. Closed Sunday and Monday. Drouco skips the decal, the per-item fees, and the haul.
FAQ
Questions Merrimack homeowners ask
How do estate cleanouts work in Merrimack?
We meet with the executor or family member (in person in Merrimack or by phone/FaceTime if you're out of state), walk the property, identify anything to save, and then handle the full cleanout. Most Merrimack estates go in 1–3 days depending on size.
Can you work with my probate attorney or executor?
Yes — we do that all the time. We can coordinate directly with attorneys, executors, realtors, and out-of-state heirs. We'll send photos, lock up, and keep everyone in the loop.
What if there are valuables we're worried about?
Tell us. We'll stage items to save in a secure room before the cleanout begins. over 50 years in this work means we've gotten very good at spotting things that matter.
Do you handle estates that have been sitting for years?
Yes. Some Merrimack estate cleanouts we run involve homes that have been closed up for a decade or more. We bring the right gear and the right approach.
How quickly can you do an estate cleanout?
We can usually start within a few days. Tighter timelines (closing dates, listing pressure) we work around — call 603-484-9300 and we'll figure it out.
