You've got an old boat sitting in your driveway, barn, or yard, and it's been there longer than you care to admit.

How Our Process Works

When you book this service, you'll start with a brief consultation to assess the size, condition, and location of your boat. This step allows the team to determine the right equipment—whether that's a flatbed trailer, winch system, or dismantling tools—and plan the safest route for removal. In Salem, properties with tight driveways, gravel access roads, or boats stored behind structures require extra planning to avoid damage to your land or nearby features.

Ross Junk Removal coordinates all towing and dismantling work, ensuring that fiberglass, aluminum, and mixed materials are separated and disposed of according to environmental standards. Heavy lifting is handled by trained professionals who understand weight distribution and structural integrity. One boat can weigh several hundred pounds, and removing it safely requires both skill and the right gear.

Once the boat is loaded and secured, it's transported to the appropriate disposal or recycling facility. If your boat includes a trailer, that's removed as well. The team leaves your property clean, with no debris, fluids, or leftover parts scattered around. This thorough approach ensures you're left with usable space and peace of mind, whether you're preparing to sell, landscape, or simply declutter.
