Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

An old, junk boat in Howard near the Bates County Fairgrounds often becomes a stubborn problem to solve. Barnacles and marine growth add weight, making the boat removal process more difficult. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Most larger vessels are not accepted at landfills unless we crush or demolish them. Let us take care of it.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Common removal scenarios in Howard often begin when a vessel is found adrift or sunk along the Little Osage River after seasonal flooding. Owners sometimes abandon watercraft at the Frontier Park Boat Launch without proper registration, leaving officials to coordinate retrieval. In each case, Bates County authorities assess the craft, document its condition, and arrange licensed contractors to haul it safely from the water.

Derelict boats discovered along Tebo Creek following storm surges present another frequent challenge, as debris and shallow water complicate extraction equipment access. Once recovered, vessels are transported to the Bates County Storage Yard pending owner notification or public auction. Owners who claim their boat within the posted deadline may avoid disposal fees, while unclaimed craft are processed according to Missouri abandoned watercraft statutes.

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!
