Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and junk 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 handle the full spectrum of junk removal — single items, full rooms, garages, basements, attics, and everything in between. Most jobs are done same-day or next-day, and you only pay for what we haul. We sort what's recyclable, donate what's still usable, and dump the rest at the proper transfer station so nothing ends up where it shouldn't.

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
How fast can you get here for Lowell junk removal?
Most Lowell junk removal jobs we take same-day or next-day. Call us at 603-484-9300 and we'll give you a window on the spot. If it's an emergency or a real-estate closing deadline, tell us — we'll work around it.
How much does junk removal cost in Lowell?
We price by how much space the load takes up in the truck, not by item count or weight. A quarter-truck might run a few hundred dollars; a full truckload is more. You get a firm number before we touch anything, so the price you hear is the price you pay.
What kind of items can you take?
Almost anything that isn't hazardous — old furniture, appliances, mattresses, boxes, yard debris, construction scrap, attic and basement clutter. We can't take paint, oil, propane tanks, or chemicals (those have to go through local hazardous-waste days), but anything else is fair game.
Do you handle stairs and basements?
Yes. Our crew handles the carry-out. Whether it's a third-floor walk-up in Lowell or a bulkhead basement, we're built for it — no extra cost for stairs.
What do you do with the stuff after pickup?
We sort. Anything reusable goes to local donation centers, recyclables go to the right facilities, and the rest gets dumped properly at licensed transfer stations. We don't dump on the side of the road, ever.
