Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
The reality is that boat removal is often much tougher than it seems for Dover area residents, especially with access routed along Hennepin Canal Parkway. 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 along the Illinois River corridor is one of the most common calls we receive in this area. Vessels left at the Hennepin Canal Parkway State Fish and Wildlife Area boat ramp or adrift near Lock 13 often deteriorate quickly due to current and seasonal flooding. Owners frequently discover their craft is no longer seaworthy and need fast, compliant removal before inspectors intervene.
Sinnissippi Lake sees a steady stream of removal requests each spring as winter storage reveals hull damage that makes relaunching unsafe. Pontoon boats and aging fishing vessels stored near the De Pue Lake access points are also regularly flagged by local authorities. In both cases our crews handle extraction, transport, and eco conscious disposal so owners can close the chapter without added paperwork headaches.
