Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Removing an old or damaged boat in Bolo requires more than an unskilled workforce. It requires professionals. Boats taking up space in yards or parking lots near the Kaskaskia River are difficult to move without damage. Crews use proper trailers and equipment to remove them efficiently. Local restrictions, complicated towing, and strict disposal procedures can hold up the process.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Bolo, boat removal for older vessels usually isn’t quick or easy. Boats left in backyards near Washington County Lake can be hard to extract without damaging property. 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. Bigger boats usually need a little extra work, like crushing or demolition, before a landfill will accept them. We handle all of that on your behalf, so you can relax knowing everything’s being done the right way. We do the hard work and you enjoy the ease.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat owners around Beaucoup Creek and the Kaskaskia River frequently call for removal of aging vessels that have sat unused for years, waterlogged hulls that can no longer be safely trailered, and pontoons that have slipped off lifts. Washington County Lake sees similar calls every spring as owners discover winter damage that makes their boats unsalvageable.

Removals from Washington County Lake often involve boats stored onshore through the offseason that were never retrieved, creating overgrown, sunken, or structurally failed hulls. Along the Kaskaskia River corridor, crews regularly handle partially submerged vessels and storm displaced boats, with hauls routed out via IL-15 to reach licensed disposal and recycling facilities.

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 can’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 wasn’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!
