Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Dry Point near the Kaskaskia River can be tricky. Limited disposal sites are always a problem. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, some prep work is required. We manage the entire process for you, so your boat is ready for disposal without any hassle. Boat removal made simple.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal near Dry Point most often starts with vessels that have sat unused along Lake Shelbyville for years, slowly deteriorating at private docks or storage areas. Owners at Eagle Creek State Park Marina also reach out when a boat becomes too costly to maintain and needs to be pulled before it causes damage to neighboring slips or violates marina policies. These situations call for a team that can work quickly and legally.

A second common scenario involves boats stranded on or near the Kaskaskia River after flooding or mechanical failure leaves them partially submerged or grounded on a bank. Wolf Creek also sees abandoned vessels left by owners who have no practical way to retrieve them on their own. In Shelby County, our crews are experienced with these access challenges and arrive ready to recover, dismantle, and dispose of any vessel responsibly.

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!
