Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and reliable boat removal in Union depends on our skilled crews with the right tools. Deteriorated boats with sharp edges, mold, or unstable structures can cause serious injuries along routes like Highway 57. Marine professionals use proper tools and lifting methods to remove them safely. Union and Iowa regulatory requirements, towing issues, and disposal steps often delay schedules.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

What seems like a quick fix, getting rid of an old boat in Union, can become complicated. There is always a risk of spills into waterways like Otter Creek or streets from fuel while transporting. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels as-is, we handle the crushing or demolition when needed. Let us do the heavy lifting - AAA Rousse has it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal calls in this area often start at the Iowa River, where aging fishing boats and jon boats are left tied to eroding banks or half sunk in shallow backwaters. Owners who launched years ago at the Pine Lake State Park ramp sometimes abandon watercraft when motors fail and repairs become too costly. Flooded hulls, cracked fiberglass, and seized engines are the most common conditions crews encounter on these inland waters.

Storage yard removals are another frequent scenario, especially for pontoon boats and flat bottom fishing rigs left on trailers behind rural properties near Steamboat Rock. Some owners in Union discover boats inherited with a property that have sat idle for a decade or more, collecting rot and pest damage. AAA Rousse coordinates disassembly, safe loading, and responsible disposal so neither the owner nor the land is left with lingering waste.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used AAA Rousse Junk Removal to help clean out items from our fathers place after he passed away. We were on a limited schedule (we live out of state) and the staff was more than accommodating. After the initial pickup was completed we decided we had more to get rid of and they were able to come the same day. Great service and fair pricing. Great to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best company I've ever used when dealing with our  building clean up. We are in the process of selling and the buyers are extremely unreasonable but after hearing about AAA and dealing with Jennine and her assurance  that our property would be professionally cleaned and all cleared (equipment, debris, trash etc..) not only did she deliver on that promise but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Thank you so much AAA and Jennine,  we could have NEVER done it without you.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AAA Roussee is the BEST company ever!!!  I hired them to help my friend who had a major problem with bed bugs in Miami.  We had the place exterminated, but bed bugs are almost impossible to get rid of totally unless all fabric furniture and rugs, etc. are disposed of.  My friend is VERY stubborn and would not agree to let them take the expensive rug and other furniture, he just wasn't grasping the importance of that.  The pickup guy,  Corey, was able to convince him to let go of ALL necessary items, Corey has such a wonderful way about him, I called him "The Bug Whisperer"... my friend fully cooperated, got rid of everything, we will have one last followup extermination check and now there is hope to totally resolve this HORRIBLE problem.  This company is the BEST!!!!!  Also, Robert, who I set everything up with, is such a great guy... he took a personal interest on the phone and made us understand the severity of the problem and what needed to be done, he went WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty!!!!   If he had not bothered to listen and discuss and truly advise and help this never would have been resolved.  Thank you Robert and Corey!!!!!!  Do not bother with any other company!!!  These people are caring and honest and get the job done thoroughly and quickly.
