Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Matherville demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team. Partially submerged boats require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove from sites like Keithsburg Landing. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Matherville and Illinois disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Matherville residents are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn’t easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting along Riverdale Road. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal in this part of Mercer County most often starts with vessels abandoned along the Mississippi backwaters near Campbell's Island, where seasonal flooding leaves hulls stranded on muddy banks. Owners also call us after boats tied at Milan Boat Club are condemned following storm damage. The diverse terrain around Big Island Conservation Area adds haul out complexity that our crews handle routinely.

Waterlogged pontoons and jon boats recovered from the Andalusia Sloughs make up another frequent scenario, especially after heavy spring runoffs push debris into shallow channels. We also field calls from landowners whose deteriorating boats sit in fields along Illinois Route 92, miles from any water. The wooded terrain near Loud Thunder Forest Preserve presents access challenges our rigging equipment is built to overcome.

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).
