Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Removing a worn-out boat in Dows is rarely quick or simple. Rotting hulls along Otter Creek fall apart during the removal process. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Our team takes care of this for you safely and responsibly, so the process is simple, stress-free and environmentally sound. No stress, just AAA Rousse.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal calls in this part of Iowa often start at the Iowa River, where aging pontoons and motorboats are left tied to crumbling docks or tangled in shallow banks after a flood season. Owners pulling vessels from the Otter Creek drainage area frequently discover hull rot that makes trailering impossible, requiring full on site dismantling before anything can be moved.

Storage yard abandonments are another common scenario, with boats left behind at rural properties off Highway 65 when estates are settled or farms change hands. Some owners also contact us after discovering a neglected craft sitting near the old Franklin County Fairgrounds property line, where years of exposure have left fiberglass hulls cracked and engines seized beyond any practical repair.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!
