Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Removing an old boat in Avena from Lake Sara often turns out to be more complicated than expected. Boats may contain fuel, oil, and chemicals that must be drained. The AAA Rousse crew will take down the mast, clear off the gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if we have to, to get the job done. The majority of larger vessels are not permitted in landfills unless they undergo crushing or demolition. Trust the AAA Rousse professionals to take care of everything.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat owners around Lake Sara and along the Kaskaskia River regularly need removal help when aging vessels become too costly to maintain or repair. Sunken hulls along the river banks and deteriorating pontoons left at Lake Sara docks are among the most common calls we receive. Ramsey Lake sees similar situations as neglected boats pile up at seasonal launches each spring.

Vessels stored near Lake Mattoon through the winter often suffer enough damage to become unregisterable by the time warm weather returns. Owners near the Fayette County Fairgrounds area frequently contact us after realizing a trailered boat left on their property has become a liability. In Avena, these scenarios play out across private lots, rural driveways, and lakeside storage areas, and our crew handles all of them.

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.

I canโ€™t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasnโ€™t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
