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 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. 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.

BURR RIDGE, IL – Burr Ridge's three school districts generally saw increased test scores last school year, according to data that the state released this week.
The Illinois Assessment of Readiness has been given annually to third through eighth graders since 2019 (2020 excluded).
The three local systems are Burr Ridge District 180, Gower District 62 and Pleasantdale District 107.
Last school year, the districts generally saw their highest percentages of students meeting or exceeding state standards on the assessment's two sections – English language arts and math – since schools started taking the test in 2019.
The one exception was Gower, where the rate of students meeting the state's benchmark in math was slightly under the 2019 number.
The Gower and Pleasantdale districts are wealthier than most around the state, with the percentages of low-income students in the teens. By contrast, Burr Ridge District 180 had an unusually high percentage of low-income students, at 68 percent.
The newly released data is on the Illinois Report Card website.
Here are the percentages of students meeting or exceeding state standards on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness last school year:

BURR RIDGE, IL – A proposal for a commercial development in Burr Ridge drew opposition Wednesday from a village committee reviewing it.
Members said the plan to build seven industrial buildings on the old CNH Industrial property would hurt surrounding neighborhoods. Some said housing would be a better choice.
Officials said representatives of the developer, Bridge Industrial, declined to attend the meeting.
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.
For decades, the 110-acre site at 6900 Veterans Boulevard has been the site of International Harvester, then CNH.
"It's going from a sleepy, quiet research and assembly facility to where all industrial uses would be permitted," committee member Steve Patterson said. "That's a pretty intense use."
Member Colleen McCormack suggested the site would be better for multifamily housing, particularly for senior citizens. She said Burr Ridge does not need more single-family houses.
Member Ingrid Tepler objected to the proposed truck traffic.
"One of the biggest red flags from Bridge is the 24-7 trucking, which is what is required to make their business model feasible," she said.
Another member, former Burr Ridge Trustee Bob Grela, said he was neither a supporter nor opponent of the proposal. But he said he wanted to provide "counterpoints" to the committee.

Grela said he has been familiar with Bridge for the last three decades of his professional life. Bridge, he said, doesn't "do anything lightly."
He said the site is near two major expressways, which he called a "major plus" for logistics.
Grela also said he was "shocked" the village approved the Fieldstone and Fieldstone Club subdivisions years ago because they are next to CNH.
Long ago, he said he figured residents in those neighborhoods would eventually get a "horrible surprise" at what could be allowed on the site.
Patterson responded by saying Bridge's proposed development doesn't meet the village's code.
"They have to get a massive zoning change," he said.
The committee's chairman, Gerald Sweeney, asked the members whether anything in the proposal would make it acceptable.
Most members said the plan would have to be heavily amended. Others said it was a no-go.
Grela said the plan would be "workable with amendments." But he countered those who suggested housing for the site, saying developers would be "hard-pressed" to get a return on their investment for such a use.
Burr Ridge, he said, traditionally resists multifamily housing and requires big lots for houses.
During public comments, residents spoke out against the proposal.
Holly Adkins, who lives on Hamilton Avenue, said she has lived in the neighborhood all her life.
"This project, to me, is completely overwhelming," she said. "I'm sad it's even being considered."
Grela responded that the village must review proposals from any property owner.
"The village of Burr Ridge, to the best of my knowledge, is not condoning this," he said.
Nicholas Esposito, an attorney with an office near the CNH property, opposed the project.
"This facility doesn't make sense," he said. "It will terribly impact all of us – the noise, the pollution. I just don't see it."
A Plan Commission hearing on the proposal was originally set for Nov. 18. It has since been moved to Jan. 20, the same day as the presidential inauguration.
The commission is expected to make a recommendation on the development to the Village Board, which has the final say.
Bridge had initially considered a Costco for the site. But it pulled that from the plan after neighbors' opposition.
CNH's predecessor, International Harvester, was tied to Burr Ridge's history.
According to the village, International Harvester's decision to build a research center nearby prompted residents to vote for incorporation in 1956 as the village of Harvester. The name changed to Burr Ridge six years later.
Burr Ridge's Harvester Park was named in honor of the company.
