Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Getting rid of an unwanted boat in Pleasant Vale is a process that needs to be done by a professional crew. Storm-damaged boats are often unstable, partially submerged, or leaking fuel along the Pike County Bluffs stretch of the river. Only trained professionals with the right equipment can safely haul and dispose of them without causing more property or environmental damage. Local laws, transport logistics, and disposal steps often add time to the job.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an old boat in Pleasant Vale isn't as simple as it sounds, especially when access routes to sites like the Pike County Boat Launch are involved. Permits may be required for towing or dismantling certain boats. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Large boats often need to be destroyed before a landfill will take them. The AAA Rousse team will take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Pleasant Vale most often starts at the Illinois River, where aging aluminum fishing boats and deteriorating fiberglass hulls are left tied to private docks or run aground on muddy banks. Owners also call us from the Barry Landing boat ramp area, where trailered vessels break down mid launch or are simply abandoned after years of neglect and become a hazard to other boaters.

Inland, crews frequently recover sunken or waterlogged boats along the Cap au Gres Feeder Canal, where fluctuating water levels can trap a hull against the bank overnight. Storage removal is another common call in Pike County, with pontoon boats and jon boats found sitting on deteriorating trailers in farm lots or overgrown yards, needing safe extraction and responsible disposal before they become an environmental concern.

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).
