Verification of ownership and a Release of Interest and Ownership must be completed and provided to the VTIP agency. The title must be free of any loan balances, liens, and/or taxes. We encourage your participation if you own a vessel under 26-feet in length and need help with disposal. Vessels exceeding the maximum length of 26-feet may be eligible for disposal on a case by case basis.
The Vessel Turn in Program (VTIP) allows the public the opportunity to drop off unwanted vessels. The Texas General Land Office (GLO), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and other local jurisdictions are taking a proactive approach, utilizing this program in order to minimize the amount of illegal dumping of vessels along the Texas Coast.
The VTIP provides owners with a free and voluntary method to dispose of their vessels and boats. The GLO sponsors the removal of all fuel, oil, and batteries; TPWD verifies ownership and clears the vessels for disposal; and Orange transports vessels (and trailers if needed) to the landfill for disposal.
ALL VESSELS MUST HAVE WASTE AND DEBRIS REMOVED PRIOR TO DROP OFF
