A loveseat, a sleeper and a sectional can look similar in a photo. Match the shape and features so your online price covers what is actually going.
This example has three structural sections. The cushions do not add to the count.
A straight sofa or loveseat
Choose Standard sofa for fixed seats with no pull-out bed or reclining mechanism. One whole sofa is one item.
A sectional
Count its structural sections, not the loose cushions. Choose the piece count, then check for a sleeper or reclining feature. One sectional booking covers the configuration you select.
A pull-out bed or reclining seats
Choose Sleeper sofa or Reclining sofa for those mechanisms. A single reclining chair has its own Recliner choice. All sofa types also includes futons and sofas with a chaise.

Lowell's contract with Waste Management covers bulk item curbside pickup, but the city states that big or bulky items have to be scheduled with the hauler instead of being set out with the carts. Nothing goes to the curb earlier than the day before collection, and items have to sit in front of the household's own property.
City cost & eligibility
Lowell publishes no bulky item fee, item list or scheduling number on the pages reviewed, so confirm the accepted items, the scheduling window and the current charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.
When & how
Call Waste Management to schedule the pickup, then set the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection. The city warns that early set-out and putting material in front of another property are violations, with fines attached.
Get it ready
Keep the set-out in front of your own address, out no earlier than the day before the collection, and away from the cart, the sidewalk and the roadway. Massachusetts waste bans still apply to the load, so mattresses, textiles, white goods, cathode ray tubes, construction material, metals, wood and tires have to be confirmed with the hauler rather than mixed into a general pile.
A couch, sofa, chair or other large household piece is a bulky item in Lowell, so it leaves on a scheduled pickup with Waste Management rather than with the weekly carts. Usable furniture can also be donated instead of hauled.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture travels on the scheduled bulky pickup, and Lowell publishes no bulky item fee, so confirm the charge and the accepted piece with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with Waste Management and set the piece out no earlier than the day before the collection, in front of the household's own property.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of the cart, the sidewalk and the roadway, and keep the load to the household's own furniture. Donation is a better route for anything still in usable condition, and the city's donation page lists thrift stores and reuse organizations around Lowell.
Bulky items need a booking and their own property line
Big or bulky items have to be scheduled with Waste Management, and nothing goes out earlier than the day before the collection. Items have to sit in front of the household's own property, because the city attaches fines to early set-out and to placing material in front of another address.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Lowell Solid Waste and Recycling Office with Waste Management
Schedule a bulky item pickup with Waste Management
A household with a couch, a large furniture piece or another bulky item that will not go out with the weekly carts.
Cost & conditions
Lowell publishes no bulky item fee, so confirm the amount and the accepted items with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309 before the pickup is booked.
Arrange it
Contact Waste Management to schedule the collection, then put the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled date and keep them in front of your own property.
The city publishes no item list for the bulky route, the Massachusetts waste bans still apply, and early set-out or material in front of another property carries a fine.
A household with furniture, clothing, household goods or bedding that is still usable and could be reused instead of hauled.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Donation is free to the donor, and each organization sets its own acceptance rules, pickup conditions and any fee for a pickup service.
Arrange it
Work through the list on the city donation page, which includes Bay State Textiles for textiles, the Epilepsy Foundation, Goodwill, the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell ReStore at 100 Chelmsford Road in North Billerica on 978-215-9975, and Savers on 844-799-2050 for mattresses, box springs, bed frames, futons and pillows.
Each organization decides what it will take and whether it collects, and some list a fee for pickup, so call ahead before loading a vehicle.
A household with more waste than the cart and purple bags can hold that does not want to order a full container.
Cost & conditions
The city describes the Bagster as a bag bought from a store with collection arranged separately and priced by the service, so confirm the bag and collection amounts at the point of purchase and with the collection provider.
Arrange it
Buy the bag at a home improvement store or online, fill it within its published size and weight limits, and schedule the collection online.
Electronics, appliances, tires, food and toxic or hazardous material are not accepted in a Bagster, and the state waste bans still apply to what goes inside.
Lowell does not run its own drop-off centre for household bulky material, so self-haul means a scheduled pickup through Waste Management or a private hauler, or a reuse or donation stop. Massachusetts waste bans matter here: mattresses and box springs, textiles, white goods such as refrigerators and washers, cathode ray tubes, construction material, metals, wood and whole tires cannot be disposed of as ordinary waste, so those loads need a hauler that handles them properly. The city lists donation and reuse options around Lowell, including a retail store that takes mattresses and box springs, a reuse store for building material, and textile and household goods charities, and it holds registered household hazardous waste days for paint, chemicals and similar products. Confirm the receiving service and its charge before anything leaves the property, and keep the set-out in front of your own address no earlier than the day before collection.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lowell.
How much does couch removal cost in Lowell?+
A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can you pick up my couch today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
How do I book a sectional for removal?+
Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.
Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.
Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?+
You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup in Lowell?+
Big or bulky items have to be scheduled with Waste Management, because the city does not take them as an ordinary curbside set-out. Put the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection, keep them in front of your own property, and confirm the item list and the charge with the hauler or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.Official guidance
Will Waste Management take a couch from the curb?+
A couch is a bulky item, so it has to be scheduled with Waste Management rather than set out with the weekly carts. Put it out no earlier than the day before the collection and keep it in front of your own property. If the couch is still usable, the city also lists thrift stores and reuse organizations that take donated furniture.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item in Lowell?+
A big or bulky item is anything the city will not take with the weekly carts, and Lowell states that those items have to be scheduled for pickup with Waste Management. Furniture and other large household pieces travel that way, while items covered by the state waste bans need a receiving service that handles them properly.Official guidance
Does Lowell publish a bulky pickup charge?+
No. The city states that big or bulky items must be scheduled with Waste Management but publishes no fee or item list for the service, and it also publishes no per household collection rate. Confirm the charge and the accepted items with the hauler or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309 before booking.Official guidance
When is trash and recycling collected in Lowell?+
Trash is collected every week and recycling every other week. The city asks residents to refer to the collection schedule on the city homepage for the day and week that apply to the address, and to have the carts out the night before with the lids closed. The hauler asks for the container on the street with the wheels against the curb by 7 a.m. and removed the same day, and when a holiday falls on a collection day the route moves one day later for the rest of the week.Official guidance
