Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
The reality is that boat removal is often much tougher than it seems for Bowdre area residents, especially along the Embarras River. Some older vessels often contain asbestos insulation. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Larger boats usually need to be crushed or demolished before a landfill will take them - and our team takes care of that process. You just sit back - AAA Rousse takes care of the rest.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal calls near Bowdre often involve vessels left along the Embarras River, where seasonal flooding can strand watercraft on muddy banks or lodge hulls against low bridges. Owners also contact us about deteriorating boats stored on private parcels near the Lake Murdock area, where overgrown lots make access difficult and standard tow rigs cannot reach without specialized equipment.
Abandoned pontoons and fishing boats on the Kaskaskia River are another frequent scenario in Douglas County, particularly after ice out shifts hulls downstream onto private property. We also handle pickups from rural storage yards along County Highway 14, where older fiberglass hulls have sat for years and require full dismantling before transport to a licensed disposal facility.
