Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Removing an old boat in Elwood near the Des Plaines River often turns out to be more complicated than expected. Boats may contain fuel, oil, and chemicals that must be drained. 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. The majority of larger vessels are not permitted in landfills unless they undergo crushing or demolition. Trust the AAA Rousse professionals to take care of everything.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal calls in this area frequently involve vessels that have been sitting unused along the Kankakee River for years, slowly deteriorating on private land or in rented storage yards. Owners who once launched from the Braidwood Lake boat ramp often find their aging pontoons and motorboats have become liabilities rather than leisure assets, prompting them to finally schedule a full haul away.
The Illinois Waterway corridor generates another common removal scenario, where partially submerged or storm damaged hulls must be pulled from the water before they create navigation or environmental hazards. Crews also respond to calls near the Des Plaines River access points, where Elwood residents store trailered boats that have sat immobile long enough to make self transport impossible without professional equipment.
