Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Massachusetts bans mattresses and box springs from disposal, and Lowell routes them to UTEC mattress recycling rather than curbside trash. Schedule mattress through the city's bulky program or UTEC's service rather than dragging it to the curb, and keep chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Lowell has no permanent household hazardous waste depot. There are only two Hazardous Waste Days in 2026 — April 4 and November 7 — so motor oil has to be stored safely until one of those dates. Keep material sealed in its original container, and never pour chemicals down a drain or put them in the trash cart.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Massachusetts bans CRTs and other covered electronics from disposal, so Lowell e waste mixed goes to a city or regional electronics drop-off, or to a Hazardous Waste Day event. Confirm the current option on lowellma.gov and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not a city collection item. Order a container or hire a C&D hauler. Hold paint for the April or November Hazardous Waste Day.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Lowell yard waste is collected on the posted seasonal schedule in paper bags or approved containers.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Lowell recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Lowell — Hazardous Waste Day is the official Lowell program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
