Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Pike off Flanagan Road 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 owners in this part of Pike most often call for removal after vessels are found grounded or waterlogged along Hennepin Canal or stranded at the mouth of Rooks Creek. Aging hulls left at informal put ins on Gills Creek are another common request, as seasonal flooding accelerates deterioration and makes self retrieval nearly impossible without professional equipment.

Landlocked situations are equally frequent, especially when a neglected pontoon or fishing boat sits on a trailer in a field near Timber Lake or rusts away behind a barn in Forrest Township. Storage yards around the Livingston County area also generate steady removal calls each spring, as owners discover over wintered boats that are no longer worth repairing and need full dismantling and eco conscious disposal.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. 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.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!
