Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The task of removing a boat in Highland near the Zumbro River Landing can become more complicated than anyone expects. Navigating state and local regulations on vessel disposal. Our AAA Rousse marine team handles mast removal, gear and electronics stripping, and flybridge cutting when required. Landfills don’t accept most large boats unless we crush or demolish them. Leave it all to the AAA Rousse Professionals.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats left tied to docks along the Mississippi River backwaters near Minneiska are among the most common removal calls we receive. Owners frequently abandon aging pontoons and fishing boats after the Whitewater River floods make them unsalvageable. Seasonal ice damage, title loss, and simple neglect all lead families to call for professional haul out and disposal rather than attempting removal on their own.

Storage facilities near the bluffs above the Zumbro Valley frequently hold boats that have not moved in years, left behind after owners move away or pass on. We also handle recoveries from private slips along Lake Pepin's northern reaches, where deteriorating hulls become hazards. Whether a vessel is on dry land or partly submerged near a river access point, our crew assesses, extracts, and disposes of it responsibly.

We used AAA Rousse Junk Removal to help clean out items from our fathers place after he passed away. We were on a limited schedule (we live out of state) and the staff was more than accommodating. After the initial pickup was completed we decided we had more to get rid of and they were able to come the same day. Great service and fair pricing. Great to work with!

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.

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.

AAA Roussee is the BEST company ever!!! I hired them to help my friend who had a major problem with bed bugs in Miami. We had the place exterminated, but bed bugs are almost impossible to get rid of totally unless all fabric furniture and rugs, etc. are disposed of. My friend is VERY stubborn and would not agree to let them take the expensive rug and other furniture, he just wasn't grasping the importance of that. The pickup guy, Corey, was able to convince him to let go of ALL necessary items, Corey has such a wonderful way about him, I called him "The Bug Whisperer"... my friend fully cooperated, got rid of everything, we will have one last followup extermination check and now there is hope to totally resolve this HORRIBLE problem. This company is the BEST!!!!! Also, Robert, who I set everything up with, is such a great guy... he took a personal interest on the phone and made us understand the severity of the problem and what needed to be done, he went WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty!!!! If he had not bothered to listen and discuss and truly advise and help this never would have been resolved. Thank you Robert and Corey!!!!!! Do not bother with any other company!!! These people are caring and honest and get the job done thoroughly and quickly.
