Fiberglass hulls:cut at our yard, never on site
Dale's take on New Orleans

I get calls from people in New Orleans who've hit a wall. The landfill in Orleans Parish turned them away. A 24-foot fiberglass hull doesn't fit their waste stream. The scrap yard looked at it, shook their head, said they only wanted the trailer. Someone else listed their boat for a full season, got nothing but tire-kickers asking if it was free. Another inherited a house with a dead fiberglass boat rotting in the backyard, no paperwork, no title, no idea how to move it. The repair quote came back higher than the boat was worth. The motor seized years ago. Now it's just taking up space, and nobody else will touch it.

We handle fiberglass boat disposal from start to finish in New Orleans and across Orleans Parish, same trip down to Metairie and Kenner. We tow it out whole, load it, and haul it away. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. The details on how we process and recycle the hull are on the Louisiana fiberglass boat disposal page.

What's covered

What fiberglass boat disposal covers in New Orleans

Fiberglass boat disposal in New Orleans means we haul your vessel whole on our trailer, never cut it up in your driveway or side yard. At our yard, the hull gets cut down in a controlled environment where dust stays contained. The fiberglass material goes to a processor equipped to handle it, metals and hardware get recycled separately, and anything with salvage value gets credited back to you. A soft transom, cracked gelcoat, hull chalked from years sitting outside,none of it changes how we handle the job. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in New Orleans

Ericson 27 removal New Orleans LA

Hauling a sailboat out of a New Orleans driveway

This one came off a driveway in Orleans Parish, a 27 ft Ericson 27 with crazed portlights and an interior some previous owner had gutted years back, nothing left inside but the bones. It had been sitting on stands long enough that the pads had settled into the ground on one side, so the hull was leaning off level when we got there. That lean was the obstacle.

  4. 4

    Tow out whole — never cut on site

    Crew loads the hull whole and hauls it to our yard. No fiberglass dust in your driveway, no torches on your property. The trailer goes with the boat when you want it gone.

  5. 5

    Cut at yard, processor, documentation

    Hull is cut down at our yard where the dust is controlled and routed to a processor that accepts fiberglass. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record for insurance close-out.

    Metals and hardware go to recyclers first. Fiberglass is routed to a processor equipped for it. Nothing marketable ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Hull length, condition, and distance to our yard move it from there. The full breakdown lives on the Louisiana fiberglass disposal pricing section.

Common questions about New Orleans fiberglass boat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a fiberglass boat in New Orleans?
Starts where the pricing section above starts, and the boat sets the rest. Send hull length, condition photos, and your ZIP — we quote flat, no dust fees added at the curb.
Will a landfill or scrap yard take a fiberglass boat in New Orleans?
Landfills refuse fiberglass regularly, and scrap yards want the metal, not the hull. That is exactly why this service exists. We take the whole boat — hull, trailer, hardware — in one pickup.
Can fiberglass boats be recycled?
Yes, though the process is more involved than most materials. Fiberglass goes to processors equipped for it, metals and hardware go to recyclers. Nothing salvageable ends up in a landfill on our side.
Can I cut up a fiberglass boat myself?
You can try, but the tools burn through blades and the landfill often refuses the resulting pieces anyway. We tow the boat out whole and cut at our yard, where the dust is controlled and the material is routed to a processor.
Is an old fiberglass boat worth anything?
An old fiberglass hull, especially one that stalled mid-restoration, is almost never worth anything as a boat. Value lives in the motor, trailer, or hardware still attached — any of that lowers what the job runs. We ask before quoting.
Do I need a title to dispose of a fiberglass boat in New Orleans?
On our side, missing paperwork is not a blocker. What Louisiana requires when paperwork is missing sits on the boat-removal page's legal section. You get proof of disposal at the end.
Is fiberglass boat disposal ever free in New Orleans?
Rarely on a dead hull. Donation programs want boats that pass a survey; most of what we handle would not. If the motor or trailer is enough to zero the number out, we tell you first.
