Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it’s easy, but removing a boat in Anchor can be tricky. Limited disposal sites, including around Lake Bloomington, 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

Boats left at Lake Bloomington and along the Mackinaw River often deteriorate to the point where owners can no longer maintain or sell them. Aging pontoons and fishing boats are routinely abandoned at shoreline properties or stored on neglected lots near Evergreen Lake, creating removal requests that require experienced crews and proper equipment to execute safely.

Waterlogged hulls pulled from the Mackinaw River and sunken vessels recovered at Evergreen Lake represent some of the more complex removals handled in this area. Estate settlements and foreclosures also generate demand, as families discover unwanted boats stored on rural properties near Lake Bloomington that must be fully documented, dismantled, and disposed of in compliance with McLean County environmental standards.

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!
