Lowell's 2023 HHW days will be on June 3rd and September 30th. Sign ups will be open a month before the event. The event will be located at 133 Stedman St (Lowell's Parks department)
Textile and Mattress Recycling
Starting 11/1/22 textiles (fabric items) and mattress/boxspring items will be considered waste ban items in Massachusetts. This means they cannot be placed out with your normal curbside collection, and they need special disposal arrangements. For more information, please refer to the MassDEP website:
