Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in St. Lucas near the Turkey River can be tricky. Limited disposal sites are always a problem. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, some prep work is required. We manage the entire process for you, so your boat is ready for disposal without any hassle. Boat removal made simple.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal calls in this area most often begin at Volga Lake State Recreation Area, where aging pontoons and fishing boats are left behind after seasons of heavy use. Owners hauling vessels off the Volga River frequently discover hull damage or registration gaps that make private sale impossible, leaving professional removal as the only practical path forward. Storm debris and fluctuating water levels add urgency to these requests throughout the warmer months.

Landlocked removals are equally common in St. Lucas, where boats stored in farm lots or behind rural properties along County Road W45 sit unmoved for years and eventually need full dismantling. Fishing boats trailered in from the Upper Iowa River corridor often end up abandoned on residential properties once trailers fail. Our crews handle both water extractions and dry property pickups with the same efficiency, covering all of Fayette County without added fees.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

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!
