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.

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:

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!

BURR RIDGE, IL – A Burr Ridge grocery store is requesting $400,000 from a special tax district to help pay for a renovation.
Brookhaven Marketplace, 100 Burr Ridge Parkway, is the largest tenant in the County Line Square shopping center. It has been there for two decades and owned in part by John Manos.
The store is planning a $1.8 million project, including a roof replacement, new refrigeration units, extensive floor replacement and upgrades, according to village records.
"The planned renovations represent a significant reinvestment in the property, enhancing its value and attracting more customers to the area," the store's lawyer, Jim Olguin, said in a letter to the village last week.
The $400,000 would come from a 4-year-old 1 percent sales tax in the business district, which consists of Village Center, County Line Square and the Marriott.
The tax money was intended to benefit the district itself with such things as buildings, roads, utilities, demolition of buildings and renovations of existing ones.
Because Brookhaven is a grocery, the business district tax doesn't apply to most of the store's items. Through a state sales tax, though, the village receives 1 percent of the sale of almost all of Brookhaven's goods. But the state tax ends Jan. 1.
In his letter, Olguin said the store would support a village decision to enact a 1 percent grocery tax to replace the lost income. This is something the village can do under state law.
The Garber family owns County Line Square and agrees to the project, according to a Burr Ridge memo. The village said it has no indication the landlord is helping pay for the project.
Brookhaven is seeking a long-term lease extension, the memo said.
On Wednesday, the Burr Ridge Economic Development Committee plans to consider Brookhaven Marketplace's request. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at Village Hall.

WILLOW SPRINGS, IL – A Willow Springs official said this week he wondered what Pleasantdale School District 107 was hiding in its effort for an expanded preschool.
On Tuesday, Willow Springs Trustee Tom Arra emailed the superintendent, copying the school board and a Patch reporter.
Pleasantdale is looking to buy Burr Ridge Village Hall to set up an expanded early childhood center. According to the district, the purchase and renovation would require a property tax hike of $25 to $50 a year for a $500,000 house.
The district held a public meeting Monday in the middle school library on the proposal. It was livestreamed, but not recorded.
In his email, Arra said he was "extremely" disappointed the meeting was not recorded. He said he had urged the district to ensure "COMMUNICATION to the OVERALL COMMUNITY" and "PLEASE OVER COMMUNICATE."
"My neighbors and the community are really wanting to know what the school district is not telling us," said Arra, who told Patch that he was speaking in his role as a resident, not as a trustee. "The definition of insanity is ... repeating the same behaviors and expecting a different result. This school district deserves better communication and leadership."
In reply, Superintendent Dave Palzet said his team has worked hard to out the word about the plan.
Those efforts have included a mailer to residents, a detailed FAQ on the website, a social media campaign and a thorough presentation at the meeting, Palzet said.
"I would add that adjustments to the presentation occurred at the last minute as a direct result of your requests," the superintendent said.
He said that as a government official, Arra knows that not all meetings are recorded. For instance, he said, Willow Springs does not audio or video record its zoning meetings.
"As you know, our library, unlike our Board room or the Willow Springs Board room, is not set up for video recording," Palzet said. "In fact, we have received feedback that recordings made in this space are low quality. As a high performer yourself, I am sure you would agree that it is best not to put out a low-quality product."
The superintendent also took issue with Arra's comment that the district deserves better leadership. He said Arra should consider the district's "great" outcomes over the last decade before "besmirching" the leadership of the superintendent and his team.
Among the district's accomplishments, he said, were upgrades and repairs to buildings for generations to come, improvements to the use of technology, updated and nationally recognized curriculum and instructional practices, and some of the best student outcomes in the state.
During the pandemic, he said, Pleasantdale stayed open for business while other schools were shuttered.
More recently, the district has had the "courage to address the issues of growth and a changing community rather than kicking the can down the road," Palzet said.
In response, Arra asked for an in-person discussion.
Palzet agreed to the suggestion but wanted another person in the room, given "the level of rhetoric" in Arra's email. Palzet said he would bring Griffin Sonntag, assistant superintendent for finance.

BURR RIDGE, IL – Darien posted online the comments in its survey of residents a couple of years ago. But Burr Ridge refuses to release them in any form.
The village has shown it is serious about keeping the feedback secret. It fired an employee who posted the comments to its website last year. And it recently declined Patch's public records request for them.
In its denial letter to Patch, the village said it promised residents that it would keep their responses "confidential."
Releasing them, the village said, would amount to an "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." That's an exception under the state's Freedom of Information Act.
In an interview with Patch on Thursday, John Kraft of the downstate Edgar County Watchdogs said it doesn't matter what the village promised to survey respondents. The Freedom of Information Act, he said, requires the release of such comments and overrides any pledges to the contrary.
He said the village can legally black out the names of survey respondents and any personal references to private citizens and businesses.
On Friday, Patch asked the village to reconsider its decision. It has not heard back.
Besides Darien, Naperville, Western Springs and Willowbrook have also posted survey comments to their websites.
In November, officials spoke about the survey results at a Village Board meeting. The survey indicated that 99 percent of respondents rated their community positively, while 98 percent had an overall feeling of safety.
Additionally, 95 percent of respondents have strong confidence in village government, the survey showed.
Even the lowest percentages of satisfaction were still high – 92 percent for stormwater maintenance and 90 percent for pathway maintenance.
Patch obtained information about the fired employee through a public records request.
In December, Village Administrator Evan Walter sent a termination letter to the employee who published the 280 comments on the village website. He accused the employee of poor judgment.
Walter referred to a notice of reprimand against the employee a year earlier. In that case, Walter alleged the employee disclosed "confidential" survey and personnel information to third parties.
He also said the employee contacted a member of the finance department to inquire about the salary of an employee with whom she was romantically involved.
"To be clear, the Village is in no way disciplining you solely for engaging in a romantic relationship or living with a fellow employee; this discipline is related to the inquiry of salary information not your own but of a household member's," Walter said.
