Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and weekly curbside trash pickup 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 offers weekly curbside residential trash pickup as a subscription service. One flat monthly rate, same pickup day every week, no surprises. Especially useful in New England communities where municipal pickup doesn't cover certain streets or where you want a reliable private hauler. over 50 years in this business means our route schedules don't slip.

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.
