Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Phillips residents near the White County Fairgrounds 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. 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 requests in this area frequently involve vessels left along the Little Wabash River, where seasonal flooding and shifting banks leave owners unable to retrieve watercraft on their own. Abandoned fishing boats and flat bottomed johnboats are among the most common calls, often sitting on muddy banks or partially submerged near Carmi Municipal Lake after years of neglect.

Further east, owners dealing with storm damaged or unregistered boats along the Wabash River rely on professional crews to navigate tight access points and overgrown shorelines. In Phillips, deteriorating pontoons and old motorboats stored on rural properties also make up a significant share of removal jobs, especially when owners are settling estates or clearing land near the White County Fairgrounds area.

Stephanie was extremely flexible in scheduling our time slot. She was willing to schedule for the very next morning, if we wanted. We live on the 5th floor in a condominium complex, and Stephanie parked in a discrete place and quickly removed the everything without getting in the way of the other residents in the building. She was very sharp and didn't need to hear directions twice. We would call her again in a heartbeat!.
