Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it’s easy, but removing a boat in Ames can be tricky. Limited disposal sites along Wolf Creek 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

Boat removal calls in this area frequently involve vessels that have sat too long at the Hocking Hills State Park boat launch or along the muddy banks of Monday Creek. Owners dealing with storm damage, engine failure, or title issues find that aging pontoons and fishing boats become costly burdens. Crews navigate winding rural routes to reach properties bordering the Wayne National Forest, where access can complicate even straightforward hauls.

Waterlogged hulls pulled from Burr Oak Lake and deteriorating vessels stored behind homes off US Route 33 make up a steady share of recovery jobs in Ames. Some owners surrender boats they inherited with no documentation, while others need fast removal after flood events push craft onto private land. In every case, a licensed crew with proper equipment makes the difference between a clean title transfer and a prolonged legal headache.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

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!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
