Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Disposing of an old boat in Arthur near the Okaw River isn't as simple as it sounds. Permits may be required for towing or dismantling certain boats. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Large boats often need to be destroyed before a landfill will take them. The AAA Rousse team will take care of everything for you.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat owners near the Okaw River frequently need removal help when aging aluminum fishing boats or flat bottom jon boats deteriorate beyond repair after seasons of hard use. Lake Arcola draws recreational boaters whose pontoon boats and ski boats sometimes sink at the dock or suffer storm damage that makes them unsafe to trailer out without professional equipment and certified crew.
Abandoned vessels left on rural properties along Illinois Route 133 are another common call, especially fiberglass runabouts that sat unregistered for years and became an environmental liability. Near the Arthur Grain Elevator corridor, farm pond boats and vintage cabin cruisers stored on gravel lots along the Embarras River bottom land often need full dismantling before disposal crews can legally transport them.
