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 Charleston, 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.

We save you time, money, and the possibility of injuring yourself or your friends.

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.

The Citadel had to come from behind to do it, but the Bulldogs pushed the nation’s longest win streak in women’s volleyball to 22 straight on Saturday.
Coach Dave Zelenock’s team rallied for a 3-2 win over Chattanooga at McAlister Field House, winning by scores of 25-19, 22-25, 19-25, 25-16 and 15-12 to remain unbeaten.
The Citadel improved to 22-0 overall and 10-0 in the Southern Conference. Chattanooga is 16-9 and 4-6.
Ali Ruffin led the Bulldogs with 23 kills, while Gina DeLancey had a career-high 16 and Maddy Cardenas 12. Belle Hogan posted 57 assists and Jaeylnn Elgert had 25 digs.
The Bulldogs have six matches left in the regular season before the SoCon Tournament. They are at home next on Nov. 4 against UNC Greensboro.
The Citadel outside hitter Ali Ruffin doesn’t want to hear about winning streaks or national rankings.
The Greenville, N.C., native couldn’t care less about either.
The Citadel volleyball team extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 21 matches Friday night, sweeping Samford in three straight sets before a raucous crowd of more than 500 at McAlister Field House.
The Bulldogs (21-0, 9-0 Southern Conference) won by scores of 25-21,25-17 and 25-18 to remain just one of three undefeated teams in NCAA Division. The the other two are Wisconsin and Nebraska. Samford fell to 9-12 and 4-5.
Despite having the nation’s longest winning streak, the Bulldogs did not receive any votes in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll.
“It would be nice if we could be ranked, but I know it doesn’t work that way,” said Ruffin, who finished the night with eight kills. “I’m good with where we are because we’re not a big program. I think we’ve been working hard and we’re getting there, but we’re here to build the program.”
Citadel coach Dave Zelenock, who was a former voter on the AVCA poll, laughed out loud when the subject was brought up in a post-game interview.
“That’s hilarious,” Zelenock said. “I think we got a vote a few weeks ago, which is kind of funny. I used to be one of the voters and I watched a ton of volleyball from around the country and I could have definitely spoke to that a couple of years ago.
“I just don’t watch enough volleyball to answer that question intelligently. What we’re doing right now doesn’t matter because the only thing that matters to us is what we do in the conference tournament.”

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Heavy rains from a Nor’easter and high tides caused severe flooding in historic Charleston, South Carolina, on Sunday.
Tides in Charleston Harbor peaked at 9.86 feet on Sunday afternoon as a low-pressure system from the Gulf of Mexico crossed through Florida and Georgia and battered the Lowcountry of South Carolina, The Post and Courier reported.
It was Charleston’s highest non-tropical tide on record and the fourth-highest in the city’s history, according to the newspaper. The levels were topped only by 12.52 feet in 1989, caused by Hurricane Hugo; an unnamed storm in 1940 that brought tides of 10.23 feet; and 9.92 feet recorded when Hurricane Irma battered the area in 2017, according to Courtney Maskell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The weather service also recorded a record 3.15 inches of rain Sunday at Charleston International Airport, WCIV-TV reported.
The heavy rains caused knee-deep floodwaters in the city’s medical district, causing road closures and stranding vehicles in the standing waters, according to The Post and Courier.
“If you don’t have to be out, please stay home. We want people to stay safe,” Ben Alquist, emergency management director for the City of Charleston, told WCBD-TV. “We know that there’s going to be high water and very windy conditions throughout the day. It’s going to make driving hazardous. Please, if you don’t have to be out, stay home.”
Christie Brinson was stranded in the doorway of a coffee shop in Charleston and said she was trying to figure out a way to reach her vehicle in a nearby parking lot. Her shopping trip from Statesboro, Georgia, turned into a harrowing experience.
“This is a hot mess,” Brison told The Post and Courier. “We just want to get out of here before the next bad (storm) comes and does it all over again.”

From The Bachelor Mansion to a sprawling Southern dream home!
After getting engaged on Thursday’s Golden Bachelor finale, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist tell PEOPLE they plan to start their lives together in Charleston, South Carolina.
“One of the things that I think fate played a hand in is the possibility of where we might wind up living,” Gerry says. “For the last couple of years, when my family gets together, I've talked about moving to South Carolina,and it's an idea I've toyed with. And then in conversation with Theresa, a private moment, she's saying, ‘Well, yeah, my son lives near Charleston in South Carolina.’”
Gerry currently lives in Indiana and Theresa hails from New Jersey, but that conversation made it easy for the couple to decide where they should reside.
“And all of a sudden it's like, there's a big problem that is gone,” Gerry says. “The issue of compromising on where to live and how to reconcile families and all of that is, it's no longer an issue.”
The reality stars hope their families will visit often. “We want to have a house that's so inviting that everyone would want to come,” Theresa, 70, says. “Maybe a pool so they all want to come and have fun.”
Lucky for Gerry and Theresa, their kids have already bonded.
“Our daughters, they're like sisters now,” the father of two says.
Theresa agrees. “My daughter says, ‘Thank you for giving me two more sisters,’” the financial services professionals says. “She has a sister-in-law already but now, two more sisters.”
After his hometown date with Theresa’s family, Gerry saw her family as his own.
“I looked at Jen and it was like, ‘This could be my own daughter,’” Gerry says of his fiancée’s daughter. “ I literally was having those thoughts because she was so kind and she was so sensitive to the situation, to her mom and to me. The whole dynamic just worked.”
Theresa and Gerry plan to bring their families together to celebrate Hanukkah this month. “We'll have a holiday dinner together with everyone,” Gerry says.
As they’ve continued getting to know each other over phone calls and text messages these last few months, Gerry and Theresa learned they share similar views on one very important — albeit unromantic — facet of combining their lives.
“Financially, we're the same,” Gerry says. “The way we handle money is the same.”
Theresa clarifies that that means the pair consider themselves “somewhat frugal.”
While Gerry and Theresa look forward to moving in together, they don’t have an exact plan for when that will happen.
“We've had conversations and we've narrowed it down to a time window, but that's always in flux,” the retired restaurateur says. “We have two homes to sell. We have other events that we're going to have to deal with and so forth.”
One major event: their live, televised wedding that will air on ABC in January.
“??When you're in your 20s and you put something off for a year, it's a very small percentage of your life,” Gerry says. “In your 70s, the clock ticks faster. And I'm 100% certain I found the right girl for me. So it's like, why not?”
Gerry can’t wait for his future to unfold, but Theresa keeps him grounded.
“Fortunately, Theresa is the more patient, I think, of the two of us,” he says. “Me, I'm like, ‘Come on, let's go, it's time to go have fun. Life's a wasting. Let's go.’”

MCCLELLANVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - A bridge in McClellanville washed out amid Sunday’s heavy rains leaving around 100 people isolated, officials said.
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office said they were assisting the state’s department of transportation in the Silver Hill community after a bridge on Old Cemetery Road washed out.
Rain totals in McClellanville topped 16 inches during Sunday’s storm.
Chief Shaun Gadsden with the Charleston County Department of Public Safety says crews responded to the collapse around 9:30 Sunday night. He says they contacted the county’s emergency management division and the State Department of Transportation, who showed up immediately, so they could identify the problem.
Gadsden adds that at least 500 cars pass by Old Cemetery Road per day, which is causing many neighbors in the area to completely re-evaluate.
One of these neighbors is Bobby Wilson, who says he and his wife were supposed to leave for a two-and-a-half-week vacation Monday morning. Now, he says they’re mainly worried about getting their mail, trying to get to work and especially what would happen if one of them were to need medical assistance.
However, they are trying to keep positive.
“Hey, look on the bright side of things,” Wilson said. “It’s Christmas and nobody’s been hurt. So, it’s all good. I hope DOT comes to our rescue sooner than later so we can get out of here.”
Other residents say they had to call off work, couldn’t go to school or had to cancel doctor’s appointments because the only way they can leave is by foot. There is a pedestrian bridge right behind this road that folks say is the only thing keeping them from becoming an island.
“McClellanville is very resilient,” neighbor Bryan Jones said. “We’re a very strong community. There’s always people on the other side of the bridge who are more than willing to help us out... If we had an emergency, they would be more than willing to give us a car or lend us a ride to town. You know, we feel confident and comfortable in that. We’re happy and thankful that we still have water and power and internet.”
Silver Hill residents are not the only ones shocked from the storm. The Town of McClellanville’s mayor, Rutledge Leland, says this storm was hopefully something they will never experience again.
Leland says he thought it was going to be 3 to 4 inches of rain and maybe 40 miles an hour winds, and this just was completely unexpected. He says the town will be providing the funds to create an alternate route and although he did not have a price estimate, he doesn’t think it will be too bad.
“It shouldn’t be a major expense,” Leland said. “Basically, it will amount to putting in some gravel and clearing a little bit of ground up. Making it to be where it is safe to be able to drive. It won’t be a great road, but it will be an access.”
Leland says SCDOT told him it could be about two weeks for the road to be fully repaired.
“That’s the minimum,” Leland said. “They have to wait two weeks before they can start considering to reopen. That’s kind of an old regulation. I’m not sure what it’s based on. We know we’re out for two weeks.”
The South Carolina Department of Transportation sent this statement around 3:45 p.m. on Monday:
SCDOT is working closely with Charleston County and the Town of McClellanville to create temporary access to the Silver Hill neighborhood following a washout at the bridge on Old Cemetery Road in McClellanville. The bridge and approaches are currently being inspected and SCDOT is developing an expedited repair plan to restore the roadway and bridge. Temporary access is expected to be completed and available later today.
Details on the repair timeline will be provided as they become available and we encourage community members to stay tuned to their local broadcasts and the SCDOT website for updates.

Charleston International shattered a record in November and expects to soar to another milestone by year’s end.
The state’s busiest airport saw more than 504,000 passengers last month on arrivals and departures, boosting the yearly total to nearly 5.7 million, based on data from Charleston County Aviation Authority.
That surpasses the 5.32 million travelers reported in all of 2022, the previous yearly record holder.
The airport got a boost during the seven-day Thanksgiving travel holiday period when the passenger count approached 130,000, up 11 percent from a year earlier.
CHS also broke a one-day record on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, with 11,094 people screened for departing flights, according to airport CEO Elliott Summey.
Three other days saw more than 10,000 travelers each day on outbound flights. They included the day before the holiday and the Saturday and Monday after Thanksgiving.
Airport spokesman Spencer Pryor attributed the new record to more families traveling again in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and more airlines flying directly to more cities from Charleston.
“People see flights to more nonstop destinations as an opportunity to travel more and not worry about making connections,” Pryor said. “It’s just more convenient.”
CHS officials also expect December’s passenger count to grow 4-5 percent, “a conservative projection” over the same month last year, Pryor said.
That would add nearly 445,000 travelers, bringing the yearly tally to more than 6.1 million to set an annual record.
The busiest travel days coming up will be Dec. 21-23 and Jan. 1-2, according to Pryor.
Credit One Stadium is best know as the home of renowned tennis matches and summertime concerts, but the usually quiet winter months are now busier than ever.
Last year the Daniel Island event venue unveiled a synthetic skating rink for the holidays. Officials expanded it when it made its return this year, and now it’s going to be an annual tradition.
General manager Chris Meany said that the idea came out of the grand reopening last year following an extensive renovation of the stadium, which is operated by Charleston-based Beemok Hospitality Collection’s sports and entertainment arm.
“We thought it would be a good way to celebrate with our community after the concert season wrapped up,” Meany said. “We figured we’d try it for one year and see how it goes. And it just took off.”
Last year, the events sold out in two days, totaling more than 5,000 reservations. This year, the Credit One Stadium expanded the rink platform and added days to double its capacity.
“It’s great exposure for the stadium, often attracting people who have never seen a match or concert with us,” he said.
The rink opened on Black Friday and continues through the end of December. Other holiday events were added this year, such as themed skating days, a tree lighting, artificial snow days and movie nights.
The next free movie viewing is the “Polar Express” on Dec. 22. Meany said that he has been inundated with requests for more and will consider that for next year.
“This definitely keeps us moving,” he said. “We go we go right from tennis, to music, to skate the stadium. And then once we wrap up skating, we are only about five weeks away from building for tennis.”
Meany said that before the renovations, the stadium would be used about 20 days out of the year. Last year that figure more than doubled to 50, and it continues to grow with the growth of the skating program.

Charleston (6-4) will try to stay hot when it hosts Coastal Carolina (3-6) in a non-conference battle on Monday night. The Cougars have won five of their last six games, including wins over Rhode Island and The Citadel in their last two contests. Their lone loss during that stretch came against then-No. 13 Florida Atlantic at the beginning of the month. Coastal Carolina has dropped two of its last three games, falling to Wofford last time out.
Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. ET on Monday at TD Arena. Charleston is favored by 15.5 points in the latest Charleston vs. Coastal Carolina odds, while the over/under is 157 points, per SportsLine consensus. Before entering any Coastal Carolina vs. Charleston picks, you'll want to see the NCAA Basketball predictions from the model at SportsLine.
The model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. It enters Week 7 of the 2023-24 season on a 100-63 roll on all top-rated college basketball picks dating back to last season, returning more than $2,000 for $100 players. It is also off to a 12-4 start on top-rated spread picks this season. Anyone following has seen huge returns.
The model has set its sights on Coastal Carolina-Charleston. You can head to SportsLine to see its picks. Here are several college basketball betting lines for the game:
Charleston lost three of its first four games this season following its run to the NCAA Tournament last season, but it has won five of its six games since then. The Cougars beat Coastal Carolina on the road in the middle of November, pouring in 80 points in that victory. Junior guard Reyne Smith scored a team-high 24 points on six 3-pointers, while junior forward Ante Brzovic posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
The Cougars added road wins at Kent State and Liberty in their ensuing games before losing to then-No. 13 Florida Atlantic. They have bounced back with wins over Rhode Island and The Citadel since then, with both of those victories coming by 15 points. Charleston has covered the spread in four of its last five games and is riding a seven-game home winning streak.
Coastal Carolina was unable to pick up the outright victory when these teams met last month, but it covered the 9-point spread in that loss. Senior forward Kevin Easley scored 16 points and grabbed six rebounds, shooting 7 of 10 from the floor. Junior guard Kylan Blackmon (15), freshman guard Jacob Meyer (12) and senior center Ginika Ojiako (10) all scored in double figures as well.
The Chanticleers beat SC Upstate in overtime to wrap up the November portion of their schedule, and they scored 80 points against Wofford in their most recent game. They have not played since that Dec. 9 contest, leaving them rested heading into this matchup.

Thankfully, recovery is already underway.
Heavy rains and high tides caused record-breaking flooding in Charleston, South Carolina, over the weekend.
According to The Post and Courier, tides in Charleston Harbor peaked at 9.86 feet on Sunday afternoon, just as a Nor’easter made its way into the Lowcountry from Georgia. The result was Charleston’s highest non-tropical tide on record and the fourth-highest in the city’s history.
Officials closed several roads in downtown Charleston due to floodwaters and urged motorists to stay off roads due to the risk of life-threatening flash flooding. The heavy rains caused knee-deep floodwaters in the city’s medical district, where hospital employees were filmed getting to work via rowboat.
Courtney Maskell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told KIRO7 that Sunday’s levels were topped only by Hurricane Hugo’s 12.52 feet in 1989; an unnamed storm that brought tides of 10.23 feet in 1940; and 9.92 feet recorded when Hurricane Irma struck the area in 2017.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, co-founder of the Weather Underground, explained to the Associated Press that rising sea levels driven by climate change mean even relatively weak weather systems can now produce storm surges previously associated with hurricanes.
“In Charleston, this is the sixth time this year already that they’ve had a major coastal flood. Most of those would not have been major flooding 100 years ago, because the sea level has risen that much,” Masters said.
Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg called Sunday a “tough and frustrating day” for residents while urging optimism.
“This was a tough and frustrating day for our citizens, as historic high tides came up and over the land in the city, flooding cars, homes, businesses, and streets,” he said in a statement. “Thankfully, no major injuries have been reported at this time, and recovery efforts are already underway.”
“As I said recently, I’ve never been more optimistic about the future of our city,” Tecklenburg continued. “But that optimism depends on our ability to adapt to sea level rise and climate change, which forecasters tell us will bring punishing tides like the ones we saw today on a monthly or even weekly basis in the decades to come. That’s why the city is working with the Army Corps of Engineers on a plan to protect our citizens from this kind of tidal flooding. And it’s why we must continue to move forward until Charleston has the perimeter protection and other infrastructure it needs to survive and thrive in the years ahead.”

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers @ Charleston Cougars
Current Records: Coastal Carolina 3-6, Charleston 6-4
Coastal Carolina has enjoyed a five-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Charleston Cougars at 6:00 p.m. ET on Monday at TD Arena. Coming off a loss in a game Coastal Carolina was expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and rack up 17 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Coastal Carolina found out the hard way last Saturday. They took a 88-80 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Terriers.
Meanwhile, Charleston scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Thursday. They strolled past the Bulldogs with points to spare, taking the game 86-71. With that win, Charleston brought their scoring average up to 75.2 points per game.
The Chanticleers' loss dropped their record down to 3-6. As for the Cougars, they pushed their record up to 6-4 with that win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Coastal Carolina hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 80.4 points per game. However, it's not like Charleston struggles in that department as they've been averaging 75.2 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
While only Coastal Carolina took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking forward, Charleston is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 14 points. This will be Coastal Carolina's first time playing as the underdogs on the road this season.

This month, you asked us about the large ships in the harbor and how the city of Charleston enforces its plastic bans.
Here’s what we found out.
Larger container ships can enter Charleston Harbor as a result of the Post-45 Charleston Harbor Deepening Project, which was completed in December 2022 and made the harbor’s shipping channel the deepest in the U.S. at 52 feet.
Army Corps Chief of Programs and Civil Works Jeff Livasy said the Corps considered the environmental impacts of the deepening effort and of larger ships traversing the harbor before the project began.
“What the team came back with is that by deepening the harbor, there would be larger vessels, but they would come with less frequency,” Livasy said. “So, larger ships and fewer ships overall.”
The Army Corps considered how the wave energy from the ships would impact shorelines. They found that the energy created by wind and tidal events was much greater and more frequent than the wave energy created by large ships passing through.
“The ships are such a small, small fraction, like less than 1 percent of the overall energy in the harbor,” Livasy said.
Larger ships can deliver more goods than smaller ships, theoretically decreasing the total number of ships that would have to enter the harbor to deliver the same amount of goods prior to the deepening.
Most of these container ships burn a residual fuel oil, also called bunker fuel, which is among the least refined and highest-polluting. Burning this type of fuel not only produces carbon emissions, but also particulate matter, which can affect air quality.
