Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Ross, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions along Chrisman Road, and more. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Larger vessels can’t go to a landfill unless we crush or demolish them. Let the AAA Rousse do all the work for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Ross most often starts at Brouilletts Creek, where aging vessels become waterlogged or grounded after seasonal flooding. Owners along the creek and near the Twin Groves area frequently call when a pontoon or flat bottom boat has settled into soft banks and can no longer be floated out without professional equipment and a crew experienced in soft ground extractions.

A second common scenario involves boats stored on private lots near Route 1 that owners have simply abandoned after engine failure or title disputes. In Edgar County, regulations require timely removal of derelict vessels from both private property and public launch sites such as the Edgar Lake access ramp, making prompt professional haul out the most practical path forward for families and estate executors alike.

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!
