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.

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 Bluffton, 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.

BLUFFTON, S.C. (WTOC) - An abrupt change at the top for the Bluffton Township Fire District and a lot of unanswered questions about what’s going on.
In a press release, the Bluffton Township Fire District Board of Commissioners said they voted to recommend the current Deputy Chief of Administration, Derek Church, be made the Interim Fire Chief.
This is all pending an internal investigation into the chief for policy violations.
The Board also directed the Chairman of the Bluffton Township Fire District Board to contact Boulware, instructing him to return all Bluffton Township Fire District-owned property in his possession.
But according to the December 17th minutes for the board:
“Chief Boulware has asked to retire at the end of the month and be re-hired 30 days after as recommended in the resolution and permissible by the SC Retirement System Plan Documents.”
The board accepted his retirement that night. He officially retired on January 2nd and was expected to be re-hired 30 days later, and return on February 3rd. He is still listed as retired, wasn’t officially rehired, and a new Interim Chief was named instead.
He is now listed as retired according to the fire district.
Beaufort County said this was regarding allegations of policy violations. They said they learned of the allegations from the Administrator and County Attorney’s office. The investigation is being conducted internally by the Deputy County Attorney.
The county said in a statement quote “This situation does not impact the outstanding commitment of BTFD firefighters to public safety and service.”
Chief Boulware has been with the fire district for more than 30 years, beginning as a volunteer and working his way up. He was promoted to fire chief at the beginning of 2023.
The board recommended the current Deputy Chief of Administration, Derek Church, be appointed as the Interim Fire Chief.
Chief Church, began working with the district in 1997, and progressed through the ranks. He will now be in charge of 175 personnel and says he is dedicated to providing continued outstanding service to the Bluffton area.
In a statement the Bluffton Township Fire District said they “remain committed to transparency and accountability while respecting the privacy of personnel matters.”

Nestled under ancient oaks and cradled by the quiet May River, Bluffton retains a sepia-toned serenity that underscores its billing as the “last true coastal village in the South.” For centuries the town, incorporated in 1852 as one square mile along its namesake bluff, remained a tucked-away enclave of oystermen and fishermen, not much more than a pass-through (or rather, speed trap) for travelers to Hilton Head. Today, Bluffton’s historic district is a destination all its own—still petite and perfectly quaint, but a haven for artists and galleries, a deliverer of culinary surprises, and home to the state’s last hand-shucking oyster company. Those who love rambling will appreciate Bluffton’s unhurried pace and walkable charm steeped in Lowcountry character.
Warm WelcomeSettle in at Old Town Bluffton Inn, a three-story, 14-room property that anchors the historic district’s main intersection. Friendly innkeepers are at the ready with a complimentary glass of wine and itinerary suggestions, or if you prefer R&R to exploring, the elegant rooms feature small balconies.
Rise and ShineFuel up for the day with breakfast or brunch at the Cottage, a coffee shop, bakery, and cafe in a historic bungalow with shady front-porch seating. Opt for the classic tomato pie, killer salads, or Crabby Bernice, a crab-loaded eggs Benedict.
Coastal ChicWhile Spartina 449’s exquisite handbags, clothing, and jewelry are in boutiques around the country, Bluffton boasts the flagship. Designed by locals, Spartina’s bespoke collections fill the delightful, tin-roofed, century-old cottage.
Sweet, Sweet SpiritThere’s salvation to be had—or at least heavenly spirits—at Burnt Church Distillery. Light pours through the stained-glass windows of the Sanctuary tasting room, where wicked cocktails featuring small-batch bourbon, gin, whiskey, and vodka tempt patrons.
Gallery HoppingCalhoun Street is creativity central, with galleries galore tucked into old cottages, including SOBA (Society of Bluffton Artists, a nonprofit co-op), which rotates original work from 100 artists, and La Petite Gallerie, showcasing jewelry, pottery, and paintings.
Golden HourIs anything as peaceful as a vermillion sunset over the May River? Beside the picturesque Church of the Holy Cross, Wright Park’s swings, benches, and dock offer the perfect perch for soaking in Bluffton’s natural beauty.
Deep RootsAt Okàn, Bluffton’s Gullah history and West African heritage come together in Chef Bennett’s James Beard–nominated dishes. Meanwhile, roots of the literal sort run deep at Farm, where seasonality reigns and locally sourced produce and seafood shine on the almost daily–changing menu.

Beloved family restaurant, Pour Richard’s, will be closing its doors on Jan. 31.
Located off of Bluffton Parkway, Pour Richard’s has been serving deliciously comforting Southern cuisine and wine since 2010.
Seemingly quaint and small, this restaurant has made a big impact on both locals and visitors to the Lowcountry for 15 years.
Known for their dishes like Southern French onion soup (which is the only item that never left the menu), chocolate bourbon pies and chicken dishes, Pour Richard’s has been a go-to spot for Bluffton families and friends to gather, unwind and enjoy a meal together for years.
Pour Richard’s is closing because another restaurant buyer bought the establishment, said Allyson Rogers, one of the owners of Pour Richard’s..
This new spot will bring a whole new array of dishes and drinks. There are also plans to entirely renovate the space and to open at the beginning of March, though details of the new concept are still under wraps. More information about the incoming location will be released soon.
The restaurant announced its closing on Jan. 20 through a post on Facebook, with frequent guests and community locals flooding the comments with heartfelt messages to say goodbye.
But above the food, the service is what made Pour Richard’s feel like home for so many. Over 200 guests reminisced in the comments that from birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners and even first dates, Pour Richard’s greeted every customer with a smile, served food that warmed you up from the inside out and made every customer feel like family.
Owners Richard Canestrari and Rogers have spent every day for the past 15 years waking up early and opening up the restaurant. Now their worlds are about to flip upside down.
“It all feels a little surreal and it’s all starting to sink in this week,” said Allyson Rogers, pastry chef.
But as all good things must come to an end, so many visitors of Pour Richard’s are anxious to know what’s next. Right now, Rogers and Canestrari aren’t entirely sure, but they are leaving the door open to reflect and recharge.
“For now, I think we are going to take a break and figure things out. Richard has always been involved with the food businesses, so I think sometime soon we may look into opening a new spot … maybe something with more drinks on the menu,” Rogers said.
As a final hurrah, you can still visit Pour Richard’s until the end of the month and even join them at 6 p.m. on Jan. 30 for a toast where they plan to celebrate until there’s nothing left to pour.
“I’m ready to get back to the things I often missed out on or forgot to do, like sleeping in, getting out on the boat or fixing my lawn, but it’s exciting to see what we’ll do next … something totally different,” Rogers said.
Pour Richard’s is located at 4376 Bluffton Parkway in Bluffton. They are open 5:30-9:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
