Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Mettawa 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 through areas like Wright Woods. 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
Mettawa sits along the Des Plaines River corridor, and crews regularly field calls about waterlogged or abandoned vessels caught against the banks near Independence Grove. Seasonal flooding along Half Day Road can strand trailered boats on private lots, leaving owners unable to move them without professional rigging and heavy equipment rated for soft or saturated ground.
Owners on Hastings Lake often discover that aging pontoons and runabouts have deteriorated beyond legal operation and need full removal before the next inspection cycle. Boaters who stored vessels near Wright Woods find them overgrown and structurally compromised, while slips at Libertyville Municipal Marina change hands and require prior owners to surrender hulls quickly and with documented disposal paperwork.
