The Top Junk Removal Company in Charleston, SC
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.

What Are the Most Common Junk Removal Items?
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:
Mattresses
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!
Refrigerators
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.
Flat Screen TVs
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.
Your First Choice for General Labor in Charleston, SC

We save you time, money, and the possibility of injuring yourself or your friends.
General Labor Services for Residential Needs
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:
Garage Cleanouts:
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.
Yard Debris Cleanup:
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!
Assembly Services:
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.
General Labor Services for Commercial Needs:
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. We can help with just about any general labor services you need, from removing old office furniture to transporting new equipment to your job site.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The effort to address struggling schools in Charleston County is showing its first signs of budding success.
The South Carolina Department of Education released testing data from the 2021-2022 school year Tuesday. While the data has its ups and downs, nearly all the scores show significant growth from the previous year.
More importantly, the students are generally improving from pre-pandemic levels in English while still struggling to make significant gains in math. In the latest data, 53.2% of students in grades 3-8 met or exceeded expectations in English, up from 48.6% in 2021 and 49.5% in 2019. In Math, 48.9% of students met or exceeded expectations, up from 46% in 2021 and 48.3% in 2019.
In her first interview since leaving the school district in July, former Chief Academic Officer Karolyn Belcher says the results are promising. Belcher was at the head of the district’s turnaround effort, which she says is entering year three of the five-year plan.
“It makes me excited for the future. I think sometimes there’s a belief that kids can’t achieve at high levels in urban environments and that is simply not true,” Belcher said. “I am just incredibly proud of the acceleration school principals, all the teachers, leadership and I am excited for what is to come next for Charleston County. Although I am in cold Cape Cod right now, it’s nice to see the direction that Charleston is headed and I feel like it’s going well for kids.”
The district designated 13 elementary and middle schools as acceleration schools in 2019. These were some of the lowest performing schools in the state. Today, those schools appear to be turning it around. While the data does not draw a perfect trend line across all schools, most scores in English and math improved from pre-pandemic levels, many by double digits.
At Morningside Middle School, for example, 18.6% of students met or exceeded expectations in English in 2022, up from 10.6% in 2019. Despite the increase, that still means the vast majority of students are not meeting expectations.
The district’s new interim chief academic officer, Michelle Simmons, says the growth is encouraging.
“We are very proud and pleased with the improvements, but we understand that we still have a way to go,” Simmons said.
The increases are similar in most of the acceleration schools. New Interim Deputy Superintendent of Schools Anita Huggins says the data proves the approach the district is taking is working.
“We see counterparts across the nation that are trying to do this,” Huggins said. “Very honestly, we have made strides but we still have a long way to go in ensuring that all students achieve at very high levels.”
Superintendent Don Kennedy has made closing the achievement gap between white and black students one of his key focuses. The latest data shows gains are being made in some areas, while improvement is still needed in others.
For example, Hispanic students meeting standards dropped 10% from pre-pandemic levels in grade 3 English, but in 5th grade, they saw a 7% increase. Black students in the same grade jumped 9% from 2019 in English but dropped 6% in 4th-grade math over the same time period.
“We are making strides,” Simmons said. “We still need to accelerate that growth. We still have to have a remedy, a solution for accelerated growth . . . We are still not necessarily exceeding state scores in those subgroups but all the while making progress. That’s our aim. That’s our goal and that’s our charge”
Interim Chief of Schools, Anthony Dixon says they’ll continue to refine their efforts and target the areas struggling the most.
“You’re seeing this intense focus on ensuring that our students are achieving and improving and growing,” Dixon said.
Despite the challenges, the district as a whole outperformed average state scores in all state tests.

Owner, PatchMaster Serving Charleston, SC
Veteran PatchMaster franchisee opens second location, expanding specialty drywall services to Charleston, SC.
Mitch is a great example of a determined franchise owner who continually seeks to serve his community. We cannot wait to see him continue to grow and expand in his territory.” — Paul Ferrara, CEO of PatchMasterCHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, September 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- PatchMaster — a specialty drywall repair company — continues its expansion in South Carolina with the opening of owner Mitch Baker's second franchise location.
'We are thrilled to have Mitch open his second location and bring PatchMaster to a new region of South Carolina,' said Paul Ferrara, CEO of PatchMaster. 'Our organization is based on a franchise-first model that empowers franchisees with the tools and support they need to scale their business quickly. Mitch is a great example of a determined franchise owner who continually seeks to serve his community. We cannot wait to see him continue to grow and expand in his territory.'
Baker, a retired school principal and combat veteran, brings decades' worth of sales and management experience to the PatchMaster family. Over a dozen military veterans and former first responders are part of PatchMaster's system, which is committed to those who serve. Baker believes PatchMaster offers service members an excellent opportunity to take charge of their future.
PatchMaster's business model also offers customers a fast, professional solution for drywall (sheetrock) repairs. In most cases, handypersons, large drywall companies, or contractors do not want to perform small drywall repairs, and skilled tradespeople, such as plumbers and electricians, often lack the resources necessary to repair holes in drywall.
Based in Charleston, PatchMaster Serving Charleston offers a fast, professional solution for drywall and plaster repairs in Charleston, Isle of Palms, Mount Pleasant, Sullivans Island, and others. Baker also owns and operates PatchMaster Serving Lexington and Irmo, SC .
The initial franchise fee for a PatchMaster franchise territory, which comprises a population between 300,000 to 350,000, is $49,500 USD. Royalties start at nine percent, and a technology fee is included in ongoing expenses. In addition to strong margins, the ability to scale, and proven business development tools, franchisees complete training at the company's New Jersey headquarters, where industry experts teach them technical and operational skills to assist in their success.
About PatchMaster

The company provides high-quality drywall services for small holes, dings, and dents, typically finishing jobs in one visit.

There will also be a finale party on Nov. 6 that is being organized by Charles Towne Fermentory and will feature only Charleston breweries. A golf tournament at Shadowmoss Golf & Country Club will be held as the very last event on Nov. 7.
As Beer Week approaches, events will appear on the website with some offering an option to purchase advance tickets, said Winn. Visit charlestonbeerweek.com for more information.
Beer Fest
A one-day event, the Charleston Beer Fest will help support Palmetto Community Care, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS and providing HIV prevention resources.
The festivities will take place from 1-7 p.m. Oct. 22 at North Charleston’s Riverfront Park, where stages featuring live music will be set up. Headliners North Mississippi Allstars will be preceded by Charleston bands Young Mister and She Returns From War, with others to be announced.
While the music plays, there will be more than 20 food trucks, 30 craft vendors and 40 regional breweries on-site. Beer games and homebrewers will also be there.
Tickets are available now at chsbeerfest.org/tickets. General admission tickets are $35 in advance or $40 the day of the event. VIP tickets, which include a commemorative festival mug, 20 beer tickets, early access, private restrooms, lounge and swag, are $80 in advance or $90 day of the event.

South Carolina City Named Best Place For Retirement

While my wife and I still have a few years of work ahead before we can retire, that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about where we want to spend our later years.

While my wife and I still have a few years of work ahead before we can retire, that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about where we want to spend our later years. But as great as some locations may sound, they may not be ideal for retirement for a variety of reasons, and now a new report reveals which places are the best and worst to live out your golden years.
WalletHub has just come out with their picks for the Best and Worst Places to Retire in the U.S. They judged more than 180 cities across 46 key metrics ranking them in areas like Affordability, Activities, Quality of Life and Health Care. According to the site, Charleston, South Carolina is the best place to retire scoring a 58.97 out of 100. Charleston gets its best marks for activities (15) and affordability (21).
Overall, retirees would do pretty well in Florida, with four of the top ten cities in the Sunshine State. When it comes to affordability, Montgomery, Alabama, is tops; while Washington, DC is number one for activities; Fremont, California is number one for quality of life; and South Burlington, Vermont is best for health care.
Charlotte only ranks 85th overall, but at least its not last. That dubious distinction goes to Bridgeport, Connecticut. You can see the complete ranking HERE.
Two Of America's Best Historic Hotels Are In South Carolina
Whenever I travel and need to find a place to spend one night, I’m not too picky about the accommodations. But if it’s two or more nights, I try to find a hotel with some character and history. It adds something to the trip. Luckily, most U.S. cities have at least one historic hotel that fits the bill.
Historic Hotel Bethlehem in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania has been named America’s best historic hotel by the editors and readers of USA Today’s 10Best. This is the second straight year the hotel has taken the top honor. Manager Bruce Haines said in a statement that the hotel couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
The Bethlehem landmark beat out nine other famous hotels including the iconic Peabody in Memphis. Two hotels in South Carolina, the Wentworth Mansion in Charleston and Hotel Trundle in Columbia, also earned spots in the top ten. See the list below.
