Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of old boats in Mystic near Honey Creek Resort 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

One of the most common boat removal scenarios in this area involves vessels left to deteriorate along the shores of Rathbun Lake, the largest lake in Iowa and a hub for local boating activity. Owners who have let registrations lapse or inherited unwanted boats often call us to haul craft off the water or from Rathbun Marina docks before state notices arrive. These pickups range from submerged hulls to dry stored runabouts sitting forgotten in lakeside lots.

We also frequently handle removals tied to the Honey Creek Resort area, where seasonal slip holders upgrade or abandon older vessels at the end of summer. Boats stored in fields along County Road J5T are another regular job, left by owners who moved away or let insurance lapse. In Mystic and the surrounding Appanoose County countryside, our crew navigates rural access roads and tight farm lanes to reach vessels that have sat untouched for years.

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).
