Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Removing an old or damaged boat in Colona requires more than an unskilled workforce. It requires professionals. Boats taking up space in yards or parking lots near Dallas Creek are difficult to move without damage. Crews use proper trailers and equipment to remove them efficiently. Local restrictions, complicated towing, and strict disposal procedures can hold up the process.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Colona, boat removal for older vessels usually isn't quick or easy, especially with Highway 550 access considerations. Boats left in backyards can be hard to extract without damaging property. The AAA Rousse crew will take down the mast, clear off the gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if we have to, to get the job done. Bigger boats usually need a little extra work, like crushing or demolition, before a landfill will accept them. We handle all of that on your behalf, so you can relax knowing everything’s being done the right way. We do the hard work and you enjoy the ease.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal along Ridgway Reservoir is one of the most common calls the AAA Rousse crew handles in this area. Owners who stored vessels near the Uncompahgre River access points often find them deteriorated beyond use, and hulls left at Dallas Creek put ins can block public access. Abandoned pontoons and motorboats in these spots require professional extraction and proper disposal.

Dry storage situations are just as frequent, with boats left on trailers or in yards across Colona and the broader Ouray County region for years at a time. Landowners near Pleasant Valley need reliable crews who can navigate tight rural lots and unpaved paths. The AAA Rousse team handles everything from winching a waterlogged hull off a riverbank to pulling a rotted sailboat off a gravel pad.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used AAA Rousse Junk Removal to help clean out items from our fathers place after he passed away. We were on a limited schedule (we live out of state) and the staff was more than accommodating. After the initial pickup was completed we decided we had more to get rid of and they were able to come the same day. Great service and fair pricing. Great to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AAA Roussee is the BEST company ever!!!  I hired them to help my friend who had a major problem with bed bugs in Miami.  We had the place exterminated, but bed bugs are almost impossible to get rid of totally unless all fabric furniture and rugs, etc. are disposed of.  My friend is VERY stubborn and would not agree to let them take the expensive rug and other furniture, he just wasn't grasping the importance of that.  The pickup guy,  Corey, was able to convince him to let go of ALL necessary items, Corey has such a wonderful way about him, I called him "The Bug Whisperer"... my friend fully cooperated, got rid of everything, we will have one last followup extermination check and now there is hope to totally resolve this HORRIBLE problem.  This company is the BEST!!!!!  Also, Robert, who I set everything up with, is such a great guy... he took a personal interest on the phone and made us understand the severity of the problem and what needed to be done, he went WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty!!!!   If he had not bothered to listen and discuss and truly advise and help this never would have been resolved.  Thank you Robert and Corey!!!!!!  Do not bother with any other company!!!  These people are caring and honest and get the job done thoroughly and quickly.
