Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Boat removal services in Alto Pass must be carried out by professionals to be done right. Boats with seized engines are heavy and difficult to transport near Apple Creek. Professionals use winches, cranes, and tow rigs to remove them safely. Strict local ordinances, difficult towing arrangements, and disposal laws can slow removal efforts.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Alto Pass boat owners are discovering that boat removal and disposal takes more time and effort than they realized, especially hauling from the Giant City State Park boat launch area. Shallow waters or sandbars in Alto Pass can make boat transport very difficult. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Because landfills generally do not take large vessels as-is, extra steps like crushing or dismantling are required. We manage this process from start to finish, ensuring your boat is prepared and accepted without hassle. Stress-free boat removal? Leave it to us.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Alto Pass most often starts with neglected vessels sitting in overgrown lots or aging storage sheds tucked into the Shawnee Hills. Owners upgrading or downsizing frequently call us to haul pontoons and runabouts away from Lake Murphysboro, where slips fill up fast and marinas enforce strict turnover policies. Storm damage from seasonal weather also drives many removal requests each year.

A second wave of calls comes from landowners clearing property near the Cache River bottoms, where flood stranded hulls are left on soft ground after high water recedes. Anglers pulling boats from the Kinkaid Lake area sometimes find their trailers have failed, leaving the vessel behind with no easy way out. In both cases our crews bring the rigging and recovery gear needed to load and haul safely.

 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.
