Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Proper boat removal in Camargo involves professionals that understand safety and compliance. Cracked or corroded hulls can fall apart in transport. Marine removal experts know how to stabilize and safely haul compromised vessels. Local compliance, towing challenges along Illinois Route 130, and disposal procedures can add time to our services.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The process of getting rid of a junk boat in Camargo is often more challenging than it first appears. Boats partially sunk in the Embarras River are extremely difficult to lift, float, and tow. Our work also includes removing masts, stripping out electronics, and, if necessary, reducing the flybridge. Larger vessels often require demolition or crushing before they can be disposed of at a landfill. We take care of this step for you, making the entire removal and disposal process smooth and stress-free. AAA Rousse - we do it all, so you don’t have to.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Camargo sits close to the Embarras River, and a number of removal calls come from landowners who stored vessels near its banks after a season and never got around to hauling them out. Others involve boats left at the Kaskaskia River access points well past their useful life. Trailers rot, hulls crack, and what started as a weekend project becomes a costly compliance problem for the property owner.

Inland storage yards along Illinois Route 130 see similar situations, where pontoons and flat bottoms get pushed to the back of a lot and forgotten for years. Camargo removal crews also respond to calls from private ponds and farm lakes throughout Douglas County, where aging aluminum fishing boats and small fiberglass hulls need full extraction, breakdown, and responsible disposal before they leach contaminants into the water.

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!
