Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and reliable boat removal in The Dalles depends on our skilled crews with the right tools. Deteriorated boats with sharp edges, mold, or unstable structures can cause serious injuries at sites like the Seufert Park boat launch. Marine professionals use proper tools and lifting methods to remove them safely. The Dalles and Oregon regulatory requirements, towing issues, and disposal steps often delay schedules.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

What seems like a quick fix, getting rid of an old boat in The Dalles, can become complicated. There is always a risk of spills into waterways or streets from fuel while transporting. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels as-is, we handle the crushing or demolition when needed. Let us do the heavy lifting - AAA Rousse has it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Common removal scenarios in The Dalles often involve vessels left unattended along the Columbia River after a season of use. Boats tied up at The Dalles Marina without current registration or owner contact may be flagged for abandonment review. Waterlogged hulls found grounded along rocky shorelines are among the most frequent cases our program handles each year.

Situations also arise at Lone Pine Landing, where trailered boats are left in parking areas well past posted time limits. Others are discovered drifting near the mouth of Celilo Canal following high water events in Wasco County. In each case, our team works to document the vessel, locate the registered owner, and coordinate lawful removal before environmental damage occurs.

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!
