Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an aging boat in Rock City often becomes challenging. Lead paint and other toxic materials require special handling. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Landfills generally can’t take larger vessels unless they’re first crushed or demolished. Sit back and let the AAA Rousse team handle it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Owners at Lake Summerset regularly call for removal of aging pontoons and runabouts that have sat unused in Lake Summerset Marina slips for seasons. Deteriorating hulls tied along the Pecatonica River also draw removal requests, especially after spring floods leave vessels stranded in shallow water or tangled in debris along the banks.

Storm damage along the Pecatonica River corridor sends crews out to recover capsized fishing boats and partially submerged craft each year. Inland, owners on Lake Summerset and Lake Carroll frequently need junk boats hauled from private lifts and storage lots after estates change hands, leaving behind vessels with no title and no clear plan for disposal.

Bobby and his coworker came out. They were friendly and professional. They quoted me a good price for a hot tub removal and scattered debris. Worked very quickly. Would definitely use them again.

Had a great experience with aaa rousse, spoke with Miles, very prompt, transparent and accurate. Informed me on everything he was looking at, even told me how to dispose of paint without them touching it to save me money. Great people all around.

I'm able to use them for my company to pick up in places other providers do not. They quickly work to get the items picked up and taken away.
