Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of old boats near the Sangamon River in Lake Fork can be a real headache. Heavy restrictions on where many larger boats can be taken. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Landfills typically won’t accept larger vessels unless they’ve been crushed or demolished. With AAA Rousse, you can relax - we’ll manage it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Lake Fork sees steady demand for boat removal as aging vessels are abandoned along its shores and at the Lake Fork Access Area ramp. Owners facing registration lapses or hull deterioration call us to haul pontoons and motorboats before county inspectors issue violations. Situations along the Sangamon River add to the workload, where floods leave stranded craft on banks well into summer.

Salt Creek draws smaller fishing boats whose owners sometimes walk away when repair costs exceed value, leaving hulls lodged in shallow bends that require winching and careful rigging to free. Crews reach these sites via Illini Road, which provides the closest paved access for our heavy haul trucks. Once loaded, vessels are transported to licensed facilities for documented eco conscious disposal in full compliance with Sangamon River watershed rules.

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).
