Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Florence demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team. Partially submerged boats require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove near sites like Thomson Causeway. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Florence and Illinois disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Florence residents near Bay Creek Slough are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn't easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal near Florence most often starts on the Illinois River, where aging vessels are left tied to bank trees or partially grounded on sandbars after flooding seasons. Owners along the Bay Creek drainage corridor frequently call after a craft shifts off a homemade cradle and lists into shallow water. These recoveries require pumps and heavy trailers that only a professional crew can safely operate in tight bottomland terrain.

A second common scenario involves storage lots near Griggsville Landing Road, where neglected hulls accumulate flat tires, cracked fiberglass, and unpaid lot fees until the owner decides removal is overdue. Florence residents also contact us after estate settlements leave a pontoon or fishing boat sitting in a low field prone to seasonal flooding. In both cases the AAA Rousse team coordinates haul out, title surrender, and eco conscious disposal without the owner lifting a hand.

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.

I can’t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasn’t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
