Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of old boats in Leighton can be a real headache, especially for properties along Iowa Highway 92. 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

In Leighton and the surrounding Mahaska County area, many boat removal calls come from property owners dealing with vessels left behind after seasons on Lake Rathbun. Sunken or abandoned hulls near the Rathbun Lake Marina and along the Coralville Reservoir access corridors account for a significant share of jobs, often requiring crane lifts or underwater rigging before the boat can be trailered out.

Overland removals are just as common, with aging pontoons and fishing boats sitting in rural yards along the North Skunk River corridor and deteriorating at storage lots near the Eddyville Canoe Access. Owners discover cracked hulls, failed trailers, or title complications and need a fully documented haul rather than a private sale. Our crew handles the rigging, paperwork, and eco conscious disposal 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.

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!
