Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The process of getting rid of a junk boat in St. Helens near St. Helens Marina 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

Boat removal calls in this area frequently involve vessels left at the McCullough Landing boat ramp or along the shores of Sauvie Island, where seasonal flooding can strand hulls in difficult positions. Owners dealing with sunken or partially submerged boats near Clatskanie River tributaries often need full recovery teams, not just a tow truck. These situations require permits, proper rigging, and careful coordination with local waterway authorities.

Closer to town, crews regularly recover boats stored too long at Deer Island Slough access points or left on trailers near the Rainier Road corridor that have deteriorated beyond use. Storm damage, registration lapses, and estate cleanups are among the most common triggers for removal requests in this region. Each job is assessed for the fastest, safest route to disposal or salvage, minimizing disruption to neighbors and nearby launch facilities.

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!
