Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Unwanted boats in Patoka tend to be more complicated to remove than expected, especially recoveries from the Patoka Lake boat launch. Specialized cranes or barges may be required. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Don’t worry - our team takes care of that for you, making the whole process simple and stress-free. Relax - we’ve got it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Patoka most often starts at Patoka Lake, where aging pontoons and motorboats are abandoned at the Newton Beach boat ramp or left tied to deteriorating docks after a season of neglect. Storm damage and mechanical failure push many owners to call for emergency removal before a vessel sinks or blocks a launch lane entirely.

Along the Patoka River and its connected backwaters, crews regularly recover sunken jon boats and flat bottoms that have been swamped by seasonal flooding. Storage lots near the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area also generate steady removal calls, as owners surrender registrations and leave hulls that accumulate fines until a professional team hauls them away.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used AAA Rousse Junk Removal to help clean out items from our fathers place after he passed away. We were on a limited schedule (we live out of state) and the staff was more than accommodating. After the initial pickup was completed we decided we had more to get rid of and they were able to come the same day. Great service and fair pricing. Great to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AAA Roussee is the BEST company ever!!!  I hired them to help my friend who had a major problem with bed bugs in Miami.  We had the place exterminated, but bed bugs are almost impossible to get rid of totally unless all fabric furniture and rugs, etc. are disposed of.  My friend is VERY stubborn and would not agree to let them take the expensive rug and other furniture, he just wasn't grasping the importance of that.  The pickup guy,  Corey, was able to convince him to let go of ALL necessary items, Corey has such a wonderful way about him, I called him "The Bug Whisperer"... my friend fully cooperated, got rid of everything, we will have one last followup extermination check and now there is hope to totally resolve this HORRIBLE problem.  This company is the BEST!!!!!  Also, Robert, who I set everything up with, is such a great guy... he took a personal interest on the phone and made us understand the severity of the problem and what needed to be done, he went WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty!!!!   If he had not bothered to listen and discuss and truly advise and help this never would have been resolved.  Thank you Robert and Corey!!!!!!  Do not bother with any other company!!!  These people are caring and honest and get the job done thoroughly and quickly.
