Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The process of getting rid of a junk boat in Rock Island along Sylvan Slough is often more challenging than it first appears. Boats partially sunk are extremely difficult to lift, float, and tow. Our work also includes removing masts, stripping out electronics, and, if necessary, reducing the flybridge. Larger vessels often require demolition or crushing before they can be disposed of at a landfill. We take care of this step for you, making the entire removal and disposal process smooth and stress-free. AAA Rousse - we do it all, so you don’t have to.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats on Rock Island's waterfront most often need removal after storm damage or the end of a season. Owners along the Mississippi River corridor regularly schedule haul outs when vessels become too costly to repair or register. The Ben Dobson Boat Launch on the north end of the riverfront sees frequent activity as owners trailer disabled or unwanted boats directly from the ramp to a transport truck.

Storage situations also drive many calls in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, where aging runabouts and pontoons sit in driveways or side yards long after owners stop using them. Boats that once worked the Illinois Waterway sometimes end up landlocked for years before owners finally arrange professional removal. Our crew handles everything from deteriorated fiberglass hulls to full aluminum fishing rigs left behind after an estate or relocation.

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).
