Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
The reality is that boat removal is often much tougher than it seems for Calhoun area residents near the Little Wabash River. Some older vessels often contain asbestos insulation. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Larger boats usually need to be crushed or demolished before a landfill will take them - and our team takes care of that process. You just sit back - AAA Rousse takes care of the rest.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal along the Embarras River and Little Wabash River is one of the most common calls we receive in this area. Seasonal flooding leaves vessels stranded on banks or partially submerged, and owners often have no way to recover them on their own. Bonpas Creek also sees its share of abandoned canoes and small motorboats lodged in shallow stretches after high water recedes.
Storage removals are another frequent scenario, particularly for boats parked near Olney City Lake that have sat unused for years and become a liability for property owners. Crews often navigate out via Sand Bank Road to reach vessels stored on rural lots or in overgrown fields. Near Fox Ridge State Park, we also handle boats left on trailers that owners can no longer register or tow themselves.
