Florida residents only: Where can I dispose of a junk boat?

Question

I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and have a junk boat to dispose of. It is NOT salvagable or restorable. I need to know where to go or who to call so I can drop it off to a dump site of some kind. Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I am looking for business names or search information so that I can find a BUSINESS that does this kind of disposal, the legal and RIGHT way. I am NOT looking for stupid answers like the ones I have gotten so far. If you want to give stupid, ILLEGAL answers, do it to someone else. Don't waste my time. NO offense to those who actually have useful information to offer. Gratitude to those who do.

Answer 2

My mom has a similar problem in Bonita Springs, Florida. Her brother-in-law has suggested that she cut it up with a chain saw and put the pieces in the trash. If your boat is in the water, that may be more difficult. I'm sure that for the right price, you can get the right person to take care of it for you. I, unfortunately, am not that person.... good luck.

Answer 3

Let it float away in a symbolic ceremony

Answer 4
