Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Disposing of a damaged or abandoned vessel in Copake Lake is a task best left to our experienced professionals near the Taconic State Park boat launch. Boats too old or damaged for insurance coverage pose liability risks. Professionals guarantee complete removal and provide liability release documentation. Local compliance, towing logistics, and environmental disposal laws can create roadblocks to removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Copake Lake residents often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Fiberglass disposal is challenging and limited in facilities along the Ancram Creek corridor. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required. Most large boats need to be crushed or dismantled before a landfill will accept them. We’ve got it covered - let AAA Rousse take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal needs around Copake Lake often begin on the water itself. Anglers and recreational boaters who have kept vessels on Copake Lake for years sometimes find a hull too deteriorated to trailer out safely. The public ramp at Lake Taghkanic State Park also sees abandoned runabouts and aluminum fishing boats left behind after a season ends, requiring professional extraction and proper disposal.

Overland storage is another common trigger for removal calls in Columbia County. Yards and driveways near the Harlem Valley Rail Trail corridor fill up with old pontoons and sailboats that owners no longer register or insure. Some vessels end up near private docks along Bash Bish Brook access roads, where tight terrain makes a DIY haul impossible and a licensed removal crew the only practical solution.

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).
