How to dispose of a fiberglass boat in Greece, NY and get rid of it for good
Licensed Greece pickup for end-of-life fiberglass hulls, most jobs scheduled same week.
Why are fiberglass boats hard to dispose of in Greece, NY?
Monroe County's Humphrey Road transfer station refuses fiberglass boat hulls outright, and Greece marinas along Lake Ontario will charge daily slip fees until an abandoned vessel is physically removed from the water. Fiberglass is a thermoset composite, meaning the resin and glass fibers are permanently bonded and cannot be melted down or dropped at a standard landfill. New York boat disposal laws also require transport permits for hulls over a certain size moving through Monroe County roads, which catches most owners off guard. Greece Fiberglass Boat Disposal handles that paperwork before the truck rolls.
The calls Greece Fiberglass Boat Disposal gets most often involve a fiberglass boat hull sitting in a driveway off Latta Road blocking garage access, an abandoned vessel racking up fines at a Greece marina slip, or an estate cleanup where nobody knows how to legally dispose of a 25-foot hull in New York. Text a photo of your boat hull to get a flat Greece disposal quote within the hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I dispose of a fiberglass boat in Greece, NY?
Hansons Boat Removal is one of the few outfits serving Greece, NY that handles the full fiberglass disposal chain, not just hauling. Most general haulers drop fiberglass at facilities that won't accept it. Hansons Boat Removal coordinates deconstruction and delivery to a certified processor, and provides a disposal certificate when the job is done.
Does the Greece, NY landfill take fiberglass boats?
Monroe County solid waste facilities don't accept fiberglass hulls. Fiberglass is a thermoset composite, meaning it can't be melted down or broken apart the way metal or wood can. It requires grinding and processing at a certified facility before any portion can be repurposed. Dropping one at a standard transfer station isn't a legal option in Monroe County.
How much does fiberglass boat disposal cost in Greece, NY?
Hansons Boat Removal quotes Greece jobs between $400 and $1,500. Hull length drives most of the cost, but foam core density adds grinding time and labor, and boats with fuel or fluids still onboard require extraction before processing. A 20-foot hull with no fluids and a thin foam core lands closer to the low end. Larger hulls with dense cores run higher.
Can you pick up a fiberglass boat from my Greece, NY driveway?
Hansons Boat Removal picks up fiberglass hulls from Greece driveways regularly. Greece gets close to 98 inches of snow a year, and freeze-thaw cycles through Monroe County winters mean trailers often seize up and tires go flat after sitting seasons. Hansons Boat Removal assesses the trailer situation upfront and adjusts the plan before the crew arrives, so there are no surprises on pickup day.
What do I get as proof the boat was legally disposed of in Monroe County?
Hansons Boat Removal issues a disposal certificate once your fiberglass hull has been processed by a certified recycler. That document shows the hull identification number, the date of disposal, and the processor used. Monroe County marinas, HOAs, and the New York State DMV title office all recognize this certificate as evidence the boat has been legally and permanently disposed of.
