Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

An old, junk boat in Sheldon near the Iroquois River often becomes a stubborn problem to solve. Barnacles and marine growth add weight, making the boat removal process more difficult. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Most larger vessels are not accepted at landfills unless we crush or demolish them. Let us take care of it.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Sheldon sits alongside the Iroquois River, and many residents store jon boats, aluminum fishing boats, and small motorboats on riverside properties or near Beaver Lake. Over time these vessels fall into disrepair, flooding or storm damage accelerates deterioration, and owners find themselves with a hull too far gone to sell, making professional removal the only practical path forward.

Crews traveling Route 1 regularly reach storage lots and rural properties in Iroquois County where pontoons and flat bottoms have been parked for years. Sunken or grounded craft along Sugar Creek also call for water extraction before road transport. Whether a boat is on a trailer, resting in mud, or sitting at a makeshift ramp, AAA Rousse handles the full removal and disposal process.

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!
