Legal and Environmental Considerations
Washington State Announces Change to Boat Law
This law addresses the processes and responsibilities involved with declaring an abandoned boat and provides legal methods for its removal and disposal. The aim is to ensure boats are removed in ways that protect public and environmental interests.
What Happens to Discarded Boats?
Once removed from their waters, derelict boats are carefully evaluated for salvageable materials and parts that can be recycled into new vessels. Anything not suitable for reuse is disposed of responsibly with regard to both waste management and pollution recycling wherever possible.

How We Remove Boats
Removing a boat takes planning and the right tools. At Bouchard Hauling & Removal, we follow a simple process to get it done safely.
Inspecting the Boat and Clearing the Area
First, we look at the boat’s size, condition, and location. If it’s on a trailer, in the water, or stuck on land, we figure out the best way to move it. We also clear the area so we have enough space to work.
Securing the Boat and Removing Hazards
Before moving the boat, we make sure it won’t shift or cause damage. We disconnect fuel lines, batteries, and anything else that could be a safety risk. If the boat is too large or in a tight spot, we take off parts like engines or seats to make it easier to move.
Lifting, Loading, and Securing for Transport
We lift and load the boat using the right equipment, whether that’s a crane, hoist, or trailer. Once it’s on the truck, we secure it with straps to keep it steady during transport.
Transport, Disposal, and Site Cleanup
We take the boat to a disposal or recycling center. Metal, fiberglass, and other materials are sorted for recycling, while hazardous waste like fuel and oil is handled safely. After that, we return to clean up the site so it looks just like it did before.
We do not accept anything hazardous, flammable, caustic or paints of any kind for we are not licensed to transport those items in WA.
