- Family-owned & insured
- Upfront truck-space pricing
- Same-day & next-day

Drouco has been serving Lowell, MA families for over 50 years, and yard waste 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 remove brush piles, fallen branches, leaves, hedge trimmings, sod, mulch, small stumps, and storm debris. Common after a strong New England nor'easter or ice storm. Single-property cleanups or full-season debris haul-aways — we handle it all.

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
Can you remove storm debris in Lowell after a New England ice storm?
Yes — and we get a lot of calls after big New England storms. We prioritize storm cleanup. Call us at 603-484-9300 and we'll get you on the schedule.
How much does yard waste removal cost in Lowell?
Priced by load size, same as junk removal. Quarter-truck, half-truck, full-truck. You get a firm number before we start.
Will you take small stumps and root balls?
Yes — within reason. If it's a small stump we can lift, it goes in the truck. Large stumps may need a grinder first; we can coordinate.
Do you compost the yard waste?
Yes. Yard waste gets routed to composting and chipping facilities — it doesn't go to the landfill.
Can you handle a season-end full yard cleanup?
Absolutely. We do full-season cleanups across Lowell every spring and fall.
