Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The process of getting rid of a junk boat in Hollis near Spring Lake is often more challenging than it first appears. Boats partially sunk are extremely difficult to lift, float, and tow. Our work also includes removing masts, stripping out electronics, and, if necessary, reducing the flybridge. Larger vessels often require demolition or crushing before they can be disposed of at a landfill. We take care of this step for you, making the entire removal and disposal process smooth and stress-free. AAA Rousse - we do it all, so you don’t have to.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal along the Illinois River waterfront is one of the most common calls we handle in this area. Vessels left docked or partially submerged near Detweiller Marina often require specialized lift equipment and careful extraction. Owners upgrading or downsizing at Spring Lake also reach out when older pontoons and runabouts have sat unused through multiple winters and are no longer seaworthy.

Storm damage and neglect along Peoria Lake shorelines leave many hulls in need of emergency removal before they become environmental hazards. We also respond frequently to storage yards off Route 29 where boats have been abandoned after failed sales or lapsed registrations. Whether the vessel is on a trailer, resting on blocks, or partially in the water, our crew arrives ready to handle the full haul from start to finish.

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!
