Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Unwanted boats in Elizabethtown near the Elizabethtown Boat Launch tend to be more complicated to remove than expected. Specialized cranes or barges may be required. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Don’t worry - our team takes care of that for you, making the whole process simple and stress-free. Relax - we’ve got it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals in Elizabethtown most often begin at private properties along Sand Creek, where owners store aging vessels in yards or behind outbuildings. When a boat can no longer be trailered safely, our crew navigates narrow rural lanes such as State Road 250 to reach the property, assess the hull condition, and haul the watercraft out without damaging surrounding land or structures.

Boats stored near the Driftwood River corridor also represent a steady share of local removals in Bartholomew County. Seasonal flooding along that waterway can shift vessels off their supports and into awkward positions, requiring hand tools and rigging to free them before loading. Our team handles everything from routine trailer pulls to full breakdown and recycling for heavily deteriorated hulls found along these low lying banks.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. 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.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

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!
