I've pulled a lot of old boats out of Gillette backyards. Some came with the house when someone bought it, and the previous owner just left the problem behind. Others sat through a season or two listed for sale, no bids, and the storage lot bill kept climbing every month. One was a junk boat with a dead motor, and the repair quote was more than the hull was worth. That's usually when people call us. The backyard's taken up long enough.
We handle the full job start to finish, from title paperwork to loading and tow. Jobs in Sleepy Hollow often stack with a Gillette call the same afternoon, so we move through the region efficiently. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Wyoming page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Gillette
We handle boat removal in Gillette by loading your vessel from wherever it sits, whether that's a driveway on a dead trailer, a storage lot, or a backyard on blocks. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a flatbed, winch gear, and whatever rigging the hull needs, and we load it without tearing up your property. Once it's on the truck, the same route runs through Wright and Moorcroft on the way out. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We recover usable aluminum and fiberglass for recycling, and the rest goes to approved disposal. No surprises, no extra charges hidden until we arrive. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

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
Schedule the removal in Gillette
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
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
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 Wyoming pricing section.
Common questions about Gillette boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Gillette?
Cost in Gillette starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Gillette?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Gillette?
Wyoming does not title boats. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Wyoming page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Gillette?
Most Gillette jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Gillette?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
