Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and reliable boat removal in Johnston depends on our skilled crews with the right tools. Deteriorated boats with sharp edges, mold, or unstable structures can cause serious injuries near waterways like Beaver Creek. Marine professionals use proper tools and lifting methods to remove them safely. Johnston and Iowa regulatory requirements, towing issues, and disposal steps often delay schedules.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

What seems like a quick fix, getting rid of an old boat in Johnston near Polk County Solid Waste, can become complicated. There is always a risk of spills into waterways or streets from fuel while transporting. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels as-is, we handle the crushing or demolition when needed. Let us do the heavy lifting - AAA Rousse has it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals in Johnston most often begin at Saylorville Marina, where owners haul vessels off the water at the end of each season or after storm damage on the Des Moines River. Crews load boats onto trailers at the marina ramp and transport them along NW 86th Street to local storage or repair facilities nearby.

A second common scenario involves boats stored on private property along the Beaver Creek corridor or in backyards near the Northbrook neighborhood. When an unwanted vessel sits too long, owners call for professional removal. Crews muscle the hull onto a flatbed and haul it out, often heading south on NW Beaver Drive toward disposal or salvage yards in Polk County.

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).
