Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Tennessee can be tricky, especially near the Argyle Lake State Park boat launch. 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

Abandoned and deteriorating boats are a common challenge around Argyle Lake State Park, where vessels left at the boat launch or moored along the shore fall into disrepair. Owners often need full removal services after a hull becomes waterlogged or structurally unsound. The Lamoine River corridor also sees seasonal abandonments, particularly after flooding leaves smaller craft stranded on banks or partially submerged in shallow stretches.

Storage situations are another frequent driver of removal calls in Tennessee. Pontoons and fishing boats stored on private land near Spring Lake are often left for years until titles lapse or estates change hands, requiring professional extraction and eco conscious disposal. In these cases crews must navigate narrow rural access roads, unhitch vessels from makeshift cradles, and coordinate with McDonough County authorities to ensure all paperwork and environmental requirements are properly satisfied.

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!
