Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Our AAA Rousse marine team handles mast removal, gear and electronics stripping, and flybridge cutting when required. Landfills don’t accept most large boats unless we crush or demolish them. Leave it all to the AAA Rousse Professionals.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal calls in Rufus often start at the Rufus boat launch, where neglected vessels get stranded on the ramp or grounded along the riverbank after seasonal low water. Owners also reach out about sunken hulls tangled in the willows near Giles French Park, where towing access is tight and standard trailers cannot reach without a long wade in.

Further east, abandoned motorboats and pontoons turn up along the shoreline near Le Page Park, left by owners who moved away or let registrations lapse for years. The windy gorge corridor through Sherman County speeds up hull deterioration, so boats that look salvageable one season are often waterlogged by the next, making professional extraction and eco conscious disposal the only practical answer.

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!
