Vehicles - Boats
Disposing of a boat can be a challenging task, as boats are typically large, heavy, and made of a variety of materials that require specialized disposal. Some landfills may accept boats for disposal, but it is important to check with your local landfill first to see if they have specific requirements or restrictions for boat disposal.
Here are some additional disposal options for boats:
- Donate or sell: If your boat is still in good condition, you may be able to donate it to a charity or sell it to someone who can use it. There are many organizations that accept boat donations, such as nonprofit organizations or boat schools.
- Dismantle and recycle: Boats can be dismantled and the materials can be recycled. Boats are made of various materials such as fiberglass, metal, and wood, which can be salvaged for reuse or recycling. Some facilities specialize in boat recycling and can properly dispose of the various materials.
- Surrendered Vessel Program: Some coastal states and municipalities have implemented Surrendered Vessel Program (SAVE), which offer free or low-cost disposal options for boats that have been abandoned or become derelict.
