Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Professional marine crews are essential for proper vessel removal anywhere in St. David. Neglected boats can leak gas, oil, or sewage along the Illinois River. Professional removal ensures hazardous materials are contained and disposed of according to environmental laws. Local rules, disposal regulations, and towing logistics often stand in the way of quick boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The reality is that boat removal near the Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge is often much tougher than it seems for St. David area residents. Some older vessels often contain asbestos insulation. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Larger boats usually need to be crushed or demolished before a landfill will take them - and our team takes care of that process. You just sit back - AAA Rousse takes care of the rest.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around St. David most often starts with vessels left on the banks of the Illinois River or pulled from Emiquon Preserve, where fluctuating water levels can ground hulls in mud and silt. Owners also call us when deteriorated pontoons and fishing boats are found abandoned at the Banner Marsh State Fish and Wildlife Area boat launch, requiring careful extraction to meet environmental standards.

Inland storage situations are equally common, with forgotten runabouts and jon boats sitting in farm lots throughout Fulton County for years before owners seek legal disposal. Vessels hauled from the Spoon River corridor or traced back to private lakefront parcels near Canton Lake round out the calls we handle most, from simple driveway pickups to full crane recoveries from soft shorelines.

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!

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.

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.

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.
