Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Wathena along the Saint Joseph Channel 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

In Wathena, many boat removal calls come from owners whose vessels have settled into the mud along the Missouri River bottoms or been left to deteriorate at the Wathena Riverfront Access. Flood seasons regularly strand pontoons and fishing boats on low lying ground near the Doniphan County levee system, making professional extraction the only practical option for overwhelmed owners.

Abandoned vessels stored for years near White Cloud Road or left on trailers at the Sparks Bend area are another common scenario, as owners find registration fees and storage costs no longer worth the expense. Crews also respond frequently to calls involving sunken or listing boats tied at private docks along Fish Creek, where deteriorating hulls create both safety hazards and environmental concerns.

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!
