Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Tampico demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team. Partially submerged boats on the Rock River require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Tampico and Illinois disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Tampico residents are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn’t easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary along the Hennepin Canal. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat owners along the Rock River and near the Hennepin Canal Waterway frequently need removal help after flooding leaves vessels stranded in shallow water or stuck in mud. Deteriorating hulls, sunken pontoons, and abandoned fishing boats are among the most common calls we receive. Storm season and spring thaw drive most of these removals in the area.

Others come to us after pulling a neglected boat from a farm property or a small private dock along Green River bottomlands. Storage situations are common too, with old vessels sitting on trailers in yards or rural outbuildings for years. Whether the boat is waterlogged or simply beyond repair, Tampico crews handle the full haul and proper disposal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used AAA Rousse Junk Removal to help clean out items from our fathers place after he passed away. We were on a limited schedule (we live out of state) and the staff was more than accommodating. After the initial pickup was completed we decided we had more to get rid of and they were able to come the same day. Great service and fair pricing. Great to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AAA Roussee is the BEST company ever!!!  I hired them to help my friend who had a major problem with bed bugs in Miami.  We had the place exterminated, but bed bugs are almost impossible to get rid of totally unless all fabric furniture and rugs, etc. are disposed of.  My friend is VERY stubborn and would not agree to let them take the expensive rug and other furniture, he just wasn't grasping the importance of that.  The pickup guy,  Corey, was able to convince him to let go of ALL necessary items, Corey has such a wonderful way about him, I called him "The Bug Whisperer"... my friend fully cooperated, got rid of everything, we will have one last followup extermination check and now there is hope to totally resolve this HORRIBLE problem.  This company is the BEST!!!!!  Also, Robert, who I set everything up with, is such a great guy... he took a personal interest on the phone and made us understand the severity of the problem and what needed to be done, he went WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty!!!!   If he had not bothered to listen and discuss and truly advise and help this never would have been resolved.  Thank you Robert and Corey!!!!!!  Do not bother with any other company!!!  These people are caring and honest and get the job done thoroughly and quickly.
