Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Professional marine crews are essential for proper vessel removal anywhere in Galena, including tight access points in the Edwardsville neighborhood. Neglected boats can leak gas, oil, or sewage. Professional removal ensures hazardous materials are contained and disposed of according to environmental laws. Local rules, disposal regulations, and towing logistics often stand in the way of quick boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The reality is that boat removal is often much tougher than it seems for Galena area residents, especially along Galena Creek where access is limited. 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 removals in Galena most often begin with trailerable vessels stored at residential properties along Indian Creek Road, where owners haul pontoons and jon boats out of flooded low lying yards after heavy rains. Crews navigate tight driveways and uneven terrain before loading onto trailers and transporting watercraft to nearby facilities for inspection or disposal.

Watercraft sitting on the banks of Indian Creek itself also present common recovery calls, particularly after storm surges strand boats along wooded stretches in Floyd County. Teams work with landowners near the Galena area and coordinate staging on State Road 150, using flatbed trailers to move vessels safely when no improved launch point is accessible.

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).
