Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Oblong residents often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Fiberglass disposal is challenging and limited in facilities. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required near the Palestine Boat Launch. Most large boats need to be crushed or dismantled before a landfill will accept them. We’ve got it covered - let AAA Rousse take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal in Oblong most often begins at homes along the rural roads feeding into the Wabash River corridor, where owners trailer aging vessels from driveways or yards after a season on the water. South Main Street sees regular tow truck and trailer traffic as crews coordinate pickups from properties on the south side of town, hauling boats to offsite facilities for disposal or salvage.

Derelict and unwanted boats also turn up along the Little Wabash River basin, where seasonal flooding sometimes leaves craft stranded or waterlogged on low lying ground. Once recovered, vessels are often staged at industrial parcels along Route 33 before final transport for scrapping or auction. These rural retrieval jobs require heavy equipment given soft terrain and limited road access near the water.

The best company I've ever used when dealing with our building clean up. We are in the process of selling and the buyers are extremely unreasonable but after hearing about AAA and dealing with Jennine and her assurance that our property would be professionally cleaned and all cleared (equipment, debris, trash etc..) not only did she deliver on that promise but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Thank you so much AAA and Jennine, we could have NEVER done it without you.

I can’t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasn’t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
