Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and swing set demolition 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.
Demolition-style removal for swing sets that are too rotted, rusted, or oversized for clean disassembly. We bring power tools, cut the frame down, dig or saw out the footings, and haul everything away. Yard is left clear and rakeable.

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.
Cleared a Belvidere basement in one trip. Impressed.
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's the difference between swing set removal and demolition?
Removal is disassembly — we take it apart at the bolts and joints. Demolition is for sets that are too far gone to disassemble cleanly — we cut and pull them apart instead. Demo costs slightly more but it's usually the right call for older sets.
Do you take care of the concrete footings during a demo?
Yes — either dug out and removed, or sawed off at grade and capped. Your call.
How long does a demo job take in Lowell?
Most Lowell swing set demolitions are half-day jobs from arrival to clean exit.
What about playhouses and tree forts?
Same crew, same process. We'll demo backyard playhouses and forts that are too far gone for normal removal.
Will my lawn be damaged?
Minimal impact. We use plywood pads under heavy gear and avoid driving over soft ground.
