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 Burr Ridge, IL, 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.

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.

BURR RIDGE, IL – A developer is making the case for a large commercial development in Burr Ridge, which has drawn opposition from a village advisory committee.
This week, Chicago-based Bridge Industrial said it launched a website for the development and sent out postcards to residents with the link to the site.
In an email to Patch, the company said it has prioritized engaging with nearby residents on the project.
"To ensure transparency and provide comprehensive information, we have developed a dedicated website outlining our project’s vision, details and answers to common questions," Curt Pascoe, Bridge's vice president of development, said in a statement to Patch. "Our goal is to address any concerns, misconceptions and highlight the positive impact this development will bring to Burr Ridge and all its residents."
Bridge plans to develop the site of the now-closed CNH Industrial plant at 6900 Veterans Boulevard. The Plan Commission set its first public hearing on the project for Jan. 20.
The website, called "Invest in Burr Ridge," said the project would be "recapturing economic opportunity from the vacant CNH industrial property, promoting environmental sustainability and returning significant tax dollars to local schools along with a list of broader community benefits."
Bridge said the seven commercial buildings would not be a trucking hub or a big box store. The project, the company said, would make investments to improve traffic flow, strengthen infrastructure, create new public spaces, improve flood control, reduce noise pollution and bring millions in taxpayer savings.
As for traffic, Bridge said it would pay for a Veterans Boulevard extension and make $5 million in improvements to ease traffic flow and lessen disruptions.
The firm said 20 acres of the 110-acre site would be for new open space and walking trails. Also, Bridge said it would contribute to the construction of a new public works building for the village. Doing so, Bridge said, would save Burr Ridge taxpayers $12 million in construction costs in addition to the land donation.
In October, most members of the village's advisory CNH committee said the project would hurt surrounding neighborhoods. Some said housing would be a better choice.
Committee members noted the development has been described as light industrial. But they questioned that characterization. They said the plan is for around-the-clock truck traffic, which would disturb the area.
In an email to a resident Wednesday, Village Administrator Evan Walter said Burr Ridge was not involved with Bridge's website or the mailers.
"The Village did not provide any proprietary data, personal information, or the like to Bridge to assist them in this endeavor," Walter said in an email. "Additionally, the statements, claims, and/or representations made on the Invest in Burr Ridge website are those made by Bridge Industrial and were not authored nor endorsed by the Village."
Walter said the village would mail a notice to residents next week about the Jan. 20 hearing. The document would be on the village's letterhead, and the notice would be posted on the village's website, he said.

BURR RIDGE, IL – Burr Ridge School District 180's longtime superintendent retired in mid-2023, but he didn't leave for good – he has a consulting gig.
Since he left in June 2023 after 17 years, former Superintendent Thomas Schneider has collected $53,200 from the district, according to public records obtained by Patch.
When he retired at age 57, Schneider was making a salary of just under $300,000. His pension is more than $220,000 a year, which is slated to rise to $254,000 in four years.
Under his consulting agreement, Schneider makes $800 a day. The records show he has worked 66½ days during his retirement.
The notations on Schneider's time sheets show that he has helped with some type of negotiations and taken part in board training for a trade group to which the district belongs.
Most of the time sheets include no notations on what Schneider was doing for the district. As of March, Schneider still had a district email account.
Messages to Schneider and the current superintendent, Charles Kyle, went unreturned. Upon Schneider's retirement, Kyle received a three-year contract with a $190,000 salary.
In August 2022, Patch reported on Schneider's business travel to destinations such as Las Vegas, New Orleans, Miami, San Diego, Tampa, Fort Myers and Orlando. The 2½-year period included the two years before the pandemic and the first six months of 2022. (No business meetings were held during the pandemic.)
In all, Schneider logged two dozen trips to conferences, taking him out of the district for two months over the period examined. The travel cost taxpayers more than $30,000.
Nearly all the travel spending was part of the district's involvement in two groups – Federal Lands Impacted Schools Association and the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools.
The school gets money each year from the federal government – known as "Impact Aid" – because of the Argonne National Laboratory, part of which is within the district's boundaries.
Nearly 70 percent of the district's students are considered low-income, with many of them living in federally subsidized housing.
The district's enrollment dropped to 477 last school year, down from 618 six years ago, according to the Illinois Report Card.
Here are the timesheets that Patch obtained through a public records request:
