Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Selma, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions along Springfield Road, and more. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Larger vessels can’t go to a landfill unless we crush or demolish them. Let the AAA Rousse do all the work for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Selma often starts at private lakeside properties bordering Heron Lake, where aging pontoons and waterlogged fishing boats sink into soft shorelines after harsh winters. Owners hauling out from the Heron Lake State Recreation Area boat launch face long carries across unstable ground, making professional removal the only practical solution for vessels too deteriorated to trailer out safely.

Abandoned boats also turn up along the South Fork Des Moines River corridor, sometimes wedged against drainage structures after spring flooding. Removal crews regularly coordinate with landowners near County Ditch 74 to extract hulls stranded far from paved access. These recoveries often require skid steers and specialized rigging, underscoring why Selma residents call AAA Rousse rather than attempting removal on their own.

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!
