On average, the typical American creates more than four pounds of waste every day. That figure doesn't include the items in your home that need to be hauled away but remain for whatever reason. The reality is most South Carolina residents have tons of junk lying around that they don't need. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time or patience to get rid of these items in an efficient, eco-friendly way. That's where Labor Bros junk removal swoops in to save the day.

Here at Labor Bros, we've hauled away an incredible amount of junk since we opened our doors. Whether it's the hundreds of unsightly, heavy mattresses or old, unusable TVs, our crew has hauled some serious junk over the years. For each truckload of junk that we remove from a home or business, we work hard to donate applicable items and recycle others, to give back to the community and keep it clean.
When it comes to junk removal in Greenville, SC, here are some of the most common items we remove:
Even the best mattresses will need to be replaced with enough time. Over the years, your mattress will begin to break down, causing you more pain than pleasure when your head hits the pillow. When your quality of sleep is affected, so too is your day-to-day life and wellbeing. To make matters worse, your old mattress is a haven for dead skin cells, hair, and even bugs. When it gets to this point, it's time to get rid of your mattress. Unfortunately, that can be easier said than done, especially if you're working 40 hours a week and must balance a family too. Luckily, the Labor Bros can remove your old mattress quicker than it takes you to snooze on a Sunday afternoon.
Labor Bros Pro Tip: Mattress parts like steel springs, wooden frames, and coils can often be donated or recycled. Our team is happy to handle this part of the junk removal process, so you don't have to!
If you plan on upgrading your kitchen, chances are you will need to update your old fridge too. Refrigerators are notorious for being big, clunky, hazardous appliances to remove. Most folks don't want to deal with the lengthy process of removing the appliance and disposing of it safely. That's where the Labor Bros come in! Whether you have a regular-sized fridge at your home or several large chest freezers at your business, the Labor Bros are here to haul them away today.
Labor Bros Pro Tip: Remember, many refrigerators and freezers have harmful chemicals that need to be disposed of properly. The Labor Bros always take these hazards into account, so you don't risk your health. Once these materials have been dealt with, our junk removal experts will either donate your unwanted fridge or haul it to the appropriate recycling facility.
With new technology and features debuting every other day, it's no surprise that we haul away old TVs every day. Whether you're moving to a new home or just want a new TV, we can remove your old flat screen quickly and safely. Our customers choose the Labor Bros for their TV removal not just because we're fast and effective, but because many modern TVs contain hazardous materials. Once our team removes your old TV from your home or business, we'll make sure your TV is disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.
In addition to our junk removal services, Labor Bros also offers the highest quality general labor services in South Carolina. In today's fast-paced world, many home and business owners don't have the time or staff to handle labor-intensive jobs like garage cleanouts and yard debris removal. There's no need to call in a favor with your best friend or father-in-law. Contact the Labor Bros for fast, efficient service for any of your general labor projects. We save you time, money, and the possibility of injuring yourself or your friends.
If you own a home, you probably know how frustrating it can be to keep up with odd jobs around the house. Sometimes, you need a little more than a helping hand - you need a team of experienced professionals to get the job done right. And that, in a nutshell, is why we founded Labor Bros - to give good people like you the chance to keep their homes looking great, inside and out. Here are just a few of the most common general labor jobs we complete for homeowners in South Carolina:
If you're anything like us, your garage space doubles as a storage unit. Over time, the items you store in your garage can pile up. Often, these items go unused for years, essentially becoming junk right before your eyes. At some point, you will need all that junk and debris cleaned out. When you want it done right, it's time to call the Labor Bros. Our team will not only remove the junk from your garage - we'll clean your garage afterward, so it looks and feels like it was brand new.
Cleaning up your yard debris can be a real pain in the butt. You need the right clothes to protect your legs and arms, gloves for your hands, possibly a back brace, and a lot of patience. After you're done, you're bound to need a shower and a long break. With all that in mind, it's no wonder why so many South Carolina residents call the Labor Bros for yard debris removal! Our general labor techs have cleaned up dozens if not hundreds of yards, and they can help you too. We make yard debris cleanup easy by taking everything: limbs, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and more. Simply click or call, and we'll haul it all!
If you just bought a new couch or desk but don't have the time to set it up yourself, call the Labor Bros for a fast solution. Whether you're moving into a new home and you need help mounting your TV, or you need a large piece of furniture assembled, we can do it all.
At Labor Bros, we don't just serve homeowners - we offer general labor and junk removal services for businesses too. All businesses generate junk in some form or fashion. Typically, entrepreneurs don't have the time to handle junk removal and odd jobs like window washing on their own. That's why business owners in South Carolina trust the Labor Bros - because we make their lives easier and more productive, at a reasonable rate. If you're sick of making complicated arrangements that don't fit your business needs, it's time to call our office.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —
Seventeen people were displaced following an apartment fire in Greenville Wednesday night.
One of the 17 included a 46-year-old woman, who requested not to be named, who was forced to jump from her third-floor apartment to escape the fire.
The woman's daughter, Diashia Butler, said her mom began to smell something burning.
"My mom just said she smelled something,” Butler said. "When they went to the door they couldn’t even open the door with all of the smoke coming through. She really didn’t have any other way out but to jump.”
Butler said her mom is currently in the intensive care unit, and suffered several broken bones and severe injuries to her arms, pelvis and back.
"She really had to make a choice of did she want to live or not,” Butler said. "She’s a CNA for a living, and now she’s not going to be able to return to her work. This is something that’s going to traumatize her for the rest of her life. She’s never going to be the same. This is something you see on tv and in movies.”
Katelyn Schwegler and Chris Schwegler also lived in the building that burned. The Schweglers and Butler, as well as other residents there, have all said the sprinklers, smoke detectors and any other alarms were not working and did not go off at the time of the fire.
“The fact that there wasn’t any alarms or any sprinklers going off at that time to notify anyone, that could've resulted in people dying,” Butler said. "There's also no exit signs in the hall at all for no one to figure out how to get out. People were trying to get out in the smoke and pure dark.”
The Schweglers said they were watching a movie when chaos unfolded.
"We started hearing people banging on the door," Chris said. "Fire! Fire! Fire! "We had smoke detectors in there. Ours never went off. We never heard anything in the halls or anything.”
Katelyn said once some of the residents started to make it outside, they immediately heard screams for help coming from the third floor, which just so happened to be Diashia's mother.
“Everyone went into rescue mode," Katelyn said. "Every neighbor that we could, we were coming in and out trying to get cushions because she jumped. She had to jump. I can still hear her screams and the noise she made when she hit the concrete.”
Diashia also took photos of what appeared to be fire extinguishers that have not been inspected since a tag date of March 2022. The fire extinguishers also noted an expiration date of six to 12 months from the tag date.
Property managers on-site for Morgan Properties at the Stonesthrow Apartments declined to comment when asked about the claims of expired fire extinguishers, sprinklers, alarms, and detectors that were not working during the fire.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —
What a woman says happened to her while working at a Greenville, South Carolina, restaurant has led to a federal lawsuit, officials said.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed the lawsuit Monday against Silver Bay Seafood Restaurant, Inc., claiming owners allowed a sexually hostile work environment, according to a release.
The South Carolina restaurant chain has three locations in Greenville, Simpsonville, and Clinton.
Officials said the suit alleges the restaurant violated federal law when it subjected the woman to inappropriate sexual comments and unwanted touching by its male head server.
The lawsuit claims the harassment happened in February 2021 to a female employee working at its Simpsonville location.
The woman reported the harassment to the restaurant's owners and to a manager, but they gave no indication they took the complaint seriously or that they would address the situation, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit says this was not the first time the head server harassed a female employee.
Coroner identifies man who drowned in the Saluda River
The EEOC claims that Silver Bay Restaurant, Inc. knew or should have known of the head server’s propensity for sexual harassment and that it failed to take appropriate corrective action to eliminate the sexual harassment from the workplace.
"Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits harassment based on sex in the workplace," officials said.
The EEOC filed suit in the U.S. District Court, District of South Carolina (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Silver Bay Seafood Restaurant, Inc., Civil Action No.: 6:23-cv-03690-TMC-JDA) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its voluntary conciliation process.
The lawsuit is asking for monetary relief for the employee, including compensatory and punitive damages.
The EEOC also seeks what it calls "injunctive relief against the company to end any ongoing harassment and to prevent such unlawful conduct in the future."
“When an employer becomes aware of sexual harassment in the workplace or of a sexually hostile work environment, it is critical the employer take prompt and effective action to eliminate the conduct,” Melinda C. Dugas, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Charlotte District, said in the release.
Betsy Rader, district director for the EEOC’s Charlotte District, said “it is important employers listen and appropriately respond to sexual harassment complaints by all employees, including young people who may be new to the workplace and particularly vulnerable to imbalances of power.”
The EEOC’s Charlotte District enforces federal employment anti-harassment laws in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
The EEOC also educates young workers about their rights in the workplace. More information can be found at https://www.eeoc.gov/youth.
The EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. More information is available at www.eeoc.gov. Stay connected with the latest EEOC news by subscribing to our email updates.

As we celebrate Greenville’s beverages and beverage community during Drink Up, today we’re honoring — arguably — Greenville’s best drink: water.
Today, Greenville Water serves 500,000+ residents in the Upstate and sources from three reservoirs: Table Rock Reservoir, North Saluda Reservoir, and Lake Keowee.
According to the 2022 Water Quality Report, Greenville water meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards and has won multiple “Best Taste” awards.
We learned these facts at the Roper Mountain Science Center’s exhibit “Our Water Story.” Stop by for hands-on learning with Greenville Water and ReWa during Summer Adventure, which ends Saturday, July 29. As fall rolls around, you can visit during Afternoon Explorations beginning Wednesday, September 13.
What events trickled down in years past for our water to be the best?
Let’s look at some pivotal moments that made Greenville’s water what it is today:
1889: The American Pipe Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, PA builds the first water system in Greenville, which served 8,600 residents.
1899: The company becomes known as Paris Mountain Water Company + builds the first reservoir on the northeast slope of Paris Mountain to serve Greenville. A 12-inch water main (think: about half as wide as the length of a loaf of Swamp Rabbit’s Stecca) ran eight miles to Greenville, carrying the water by gravity. A second reservoir was built at a lower elevation on Paris Mountain in 1900.
1918: The Commissioner of Public Works of the City of Greenville purchases the original water system from Paris Mountain Water Company.
1920s-1930s: The Table Rock Watershed is purchased — making history as the first water system to have full land ownership for a drinking reservoir — and Table Rock Reservoir is constructed + begins operation.
1950s: The North Saluda Watershed is purchased and the Poinsett Reservoir (aka North Saluda Reservoir) is constructed to support Greenville’s growing population.
1985: Lake Keowee is added as another Greenville water source and the Witty Adkins Water Treatment Plant opens in Pickens County.
1993: The Greenville Water Commission grants a conservation easement to The Nature Conservancy, a global land conservation organization, to further protect the land.
2000: The Lyndon B. Stovall Water Treatment Plant is built — this plant uses Dissolved Air Flotation technology prior to filtration, which filters water almost 10 times clearer than required standards.
2000s-2010s: Greenville Water wins “Best of the Best” Water Taste Test in 2011, and is named “Best Tasting” water in SC three times.
Cheers to keeping hydrated with the best of the best, GVL. Stay up to date on the latest from Greenville Water and learn more about the organization here.

Greenville, SC (PRUnderground) August 4th, 2023
The top concrete repair and maintenance company has opened its doors in Greenville, South Carolina. The Driveway Company is all set to provide a wide range of services to improve the city’s patios, sidewalks, and driveways in residential and commercial properties.
The company has over 30 years of experience repairing cracked and damaged concrete surfaces. They use top coat sealing, surface cleaning, and other techniques to fix cosmetic flaws and transform damaged surfaces into flawless surfaces.
The company also performs foundational work like concrete crack and joint repair. Many properties in Greenville report spalling concrete driveways, pathways, and patios. There are many possible causes, and one of them is the climate.
South Carolina has a subtropical climate and experiences the extremes of all four seasons. The freeze-thaw cycles, as the weather shifts from long, warm days in spring and summer to crisp and cool temperatures in fall and winter, can take a toll on any exposed concrete. As the material contracts, expands and endures wear and tear from passing vehicles and foot traffic, it can deteriorate faster than expected.
Damage due to moisture is also a common problem for properties in Greenville. Surface-level fractures allow water to penetrate reinforced concrete and rust forms when moisture reaches the steel bars at the bottom. Unfortunately, steel corrosion is one of the causes of spalling: a defect that develops when concrete breaks apart and detaches from the reinforcing steel. The fractures can be 25mm deep and 150mm or more in diameter – very visible and potentially hazardous to pedestrians and cyclists.
The Driveway Company of Greenville solves these problems and more. Their concrete repair and maintenance services stand out because they are flexible and open to customizing their methods to accommodate each client’s unique needs and circumstances. This explains The Driveway Company’s diverse clientele, which includes homeowners, commercial business owners, industrial facilities, warehouses, and public-use spaces.
Here are some of the services The Driveway Company of Greenville offers:
