Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Polk demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team. Partially submerged boats require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove off Shipman Road. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Polk and Illinois disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Polk 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 hauled from Macoupin Creek are definitely a challenge while transporting. 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

Boats along Macoupin Creek are frequently left stranded after flooding or engine failure, making professional removal the only safe option. Vessels trailered to Beaver Dam State Park sometimes suffer hull damage and cannot be relaunched. Watercraft stored near Lake Otter through harsh winters often deteriorate beyond repair, leaving owners in need of full removal and disposal service.

Owners with aging pontoons on Carlinville Lake regularly contact AAA Rousse once docks close for the season and storage costs outpace the boat's value. Vessels recovered from Macoupin Creek after high water events require pumping and crane work before they can be loaded. Crews traveling Shipman Road reach rural properties where neglected boats have sat for years, coordinating full dismantling and eco conscious disposal on site.

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!
