Dale's take on Cicero

I've pulled plenty of junk boats out of Cicero backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want to deal with it. Others sat because the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and decided storage was cheaper than trying again. One guy had a slip bill that climbed every year while his old boat sat rotting. He finally called when the bill was higher than anything he'd get selling it.

We handle the whole thing start to finish. Load it, tow it, handle the paperwork and title work, get it to the right place. Jobs in Stickney often stack with a Cicero call the same afternoon. Whether it's an estate cleanout, a vessel that hasn't run in years, or a storage lot full of hulls nobody wants, we move it. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Illinois page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Cicero

We haul any vessel out of Cicero, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked in a storage lot, or abandoned at a local marina. Jobs start around $250. We bring a heavy-duty trailer, winch equipment, and whatever dollies or lift gear the situation calls for. Once we load it, we transport the boat out of Cook County. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Most of our Cicero pickups follow the same route runs through Berwyn and Oak Park, which keeps costs down for everyone in that corridor. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Cicero works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Cicero, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in Cicero

    We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Crew handles the haul and dismantle

    Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

  5. 5

    Destruction documentation

    You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.

    Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Illinois pricing section.

Common questions about Cicero boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Cicero?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Cicero get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Cicero?
Free removal in Cicero depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Cicero?
Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Cicero pickup. The legal section on the Illinois page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Cicero?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Cicero?
Every kind that shows up in Cicero: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
