Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Iola, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions along Route 45, and more. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Larger vessels can’t go to a landfill unless we crush or demolish them. Let the AAA Rousse do all the work for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Along the Little Wabash River, abandoned and storm damaged boats are among the most common removal calls we handle. Waterlogged hulls that have settled into soft banks near Sailor Springs require specialized extraction equipment and careful rigging. Vessels left to deteriorate near Clay City add up fast, and owners often call us only after the situation has worsened beyond a simple trailer haul.

Overland removals are equally routine, with deteriorating boats sitting on trailers or in overgrown lots accessed by Kinmundy Road presenting tight turning and weight challenges. Storage sites near the Clay County Fairgrounds often hold boats that have not moved in years, with registrations long expired. Our crews navigate Route 45 and surrounding county roads regularly to reach these landlocked vessels and haul them out cleanly and efficiently.

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!
