Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Kankakee residents near the Kankakee River State Park Boat Launch often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Fiberglass disposal is challenging and limited in facilities. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required. Most large boats need to be crushed or dismantled before a landfill will accept them. We’ve got it covered - let AAA Rousse take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals in Kankakee most often begin along the Kankakee River corridor, where owners tow watercraft out from driveways near the East Avenue bridge or from private lots along Station Street. Seasonal haul outs happen when water levels drop in autumn, and crews frequently load boats onto trailers right off the concrete aprons serving the Illinois Route 17 river crossing area.

Storage after removal is a common next step, with many owners moving vessels to the Kankakee fairgrounds district or transporting them south along Court Street to reach covered storage facilities. Boats pulled from backyard lifts in the Riverview neighborhood also represent a steady share of local removal calls, especially after storm damage or when owners are downsizing before winter sets in.

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!
