Big/Bulky Item Collection
Waste Management has put an indefinite hold on bulky item collection to minimize worker exposure and risk of contracting COVID-19.
The City of Lowell has partnered with Waste Management for the collection of bulky items* from eligible addresses, subject to the fee schedule below. Collections are scheduled by appointment only, and require payment over the phone [MC, VISA and Debit]. All items must be placed curbside on the date assigned by the contractor when the appointment is made.
*PLEASE NOTE* No REFUNDS are provided, under any circumstance. All sales/purchase/charges are final.
