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 Columbia, 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.

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.
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!

SC woman woke to find large snake behind toilet in apartment, sheriff’s department says

A South Carolina woman woke up Tuesday morning and went to her apartment’s bathroom where she was met by a large snake that was behind the toilet, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department said.
It wasn’t a plumbing tool, and the reptile was not the woman’s pet.
An incident report said the woman screamed and called for help, an understandable reaction to unexpectedly finding a ball python at about 5 a.m. inside of an apartment in Columbia. Information on the length and estimated age of the brown and black snake wasn’t available.
Neither the woman nor the snake was hurt, as deputies who responded to Rice Terrace Apartments and Townhomes were able to extract the exotic animal, initially placing it in a pillowcase, according to the incident report.
“We were able to provide a solution to the resident quickly and save the snake’s life!” Master Deputy Alexandra Salrin told The State.
Other than possibly frayed nerves, the only damage reported was a bathroom that was flooded because of the snake, the incident report said. Information about how the snake caused the bathroom to flood was not available.
The apartment complex is at 107 Rice Terrace Drive, in a section of Columbia between Hardscrabble Road and Longtown Road, near Ridge View High School.
The woman who found the snake first called a friend, then they both reached out to law enforcement for help, according to the incident report. Master Deputy Shannon Huffman, a member of the Community Action Team, responded to the apartment, “and knew exactly what to do!” the sheriff’s department said.
Huffman has been with the sheriff’s department for almost 4 years, according to Salrin.
Huffman’s efforts were shared on social media, While it’s common for the sheriff’s department to be called to an animal-related issue, it’s unusual to have to assist in incidents involving exotic animals such as snakes, according to Salrin.
“This was definitely a unique call for service for us,” Salrin said.
Despite the unusual nature of the call, deputies are trained to deal with a variety of situations, according to Salrin.
“We prepare our deputies to expect to be called to incidents that they never expected to be dealing with and our deputies are trained to assess the situation and determine if there is another agency or specialized unit that needs to assist,” Salrin said. “Thankfully, in this situation, (Master Deputy) Huffman has experience with a variety of animals and was comfortable dealing with the snake.”
The sheriff’s department doesn’t know how the snake ended up in the apartment. Because of the size of the snake, Salrin said there is speculation that the snake is someone’s pet and may have escaped from another apartment in the complex.
“However, that cannot be confirmed because no one has come forward” to claim the snake, Salrin said.
The snake won’t be left to fend for itself, as it was taken home by one of the sheriff’s department’s Operations deputies, according to Salrin.
In a breaking news situation, facts can be unclear and the situation may still be developing. The State is trying to get important information to the public as quickly and accurately as possible. This story will be updated as more information becomes available, and some information in this story may change as the facts become clearer. Refresh this page later for more updated information.

USC plans $350M hospital for Columbia’s BullStreet District, first of its kind in state

The University of South Carolina’s ambitious health district in downtown Columbia will soon include its own standalone hospital.
The specialized, $350 million facility, the first of its kind in the state, would concentrate on treating brain diseases and the nervous system. It would offer advanced neurological and neurosurgery treatments, and neurological rehabilitation for conditions like trauma, stroke and cancer. It could open as early as 2028.
USC is coordinating plans for the hospital with the state Department of Health and Human Services, and will receive $10 million in funding for preliminary architecture and engineering work. The university will also request $150 million from the state legislature to help fund the project.
The hospital will have about 115 beds that provide care for patients. It will also come complete with clinical research spaces, laboratories and provide additional clinical training sites for USC students studying medicine, physical and speech therapy, nursing, pharmacy and more.
“As USC expands its efforts to provide the highest quality medical education to South Carolina students and serve the state’s health care needs, building a single location for neurological treatment and rehabilitation is a vital next step,” President Michael D. Amiridis said in a news release. “This is a tremendous opportunity to address a critical gap in health care for brain-related conditions, not only for our state, but for the entire Southeast.”
It will fill a badly-needed gap in South Carolina health care, university spokesman Jeff Stensland said. Neurological care is limited, and many travel to seek care in Georgia or North Carolina. The new hospital would provide more localized treatment and reduce patient costs.
Stroke is the sixth-highest cause of death in South Carolina, according to the state Department of Public Health, and the state has the fourth highest rate of traumatic brain injury deaths.
“This would be the most impactful project in the history of the university, particularly for the quality of life of South Carolinians,” USC Board of Trustees Chairman Thad Westbook said in a news release. “Our citizens would be able to get the best quality of care in their backyard. This is all part of our mission in serving the people of South Carolina.”
The hospital will be part of USC’s sprawling, 16-acre health campus near the heart of the city, right next to the new School of Medicine, and would be an extension of the university’s network of brain health care and research. Officials have said that the university expects to break ground on the 308,000-square-foot, $300 million medical school there in 2025. It’s expected to be completed in 2027.
The university will maintain its ongoing partnership with Prisma Health including the statewide Brain Health Network it runs in conjunction with the Greenville-based hospital system. It’s unclear how much Prisma, which has several hospitals locally, will be involved with the new health campus in Columbia.

What should be done with Capital City Stadium? Columbia is asking developers for ideas

Apartments with a ball-park theme and restaurants and shops all around were once planned. Before that, there were talks about a Kroger grocery store, and before that a Walmart. But despite all the planning, none of the ideas have come through to repurpose or replace Columbia’s languid Capital City Stadium minor league baseball park.
Now, the city is again asking developers to come up with ideas for the stadium, which sits prominently downtown at the corner of Assembly Street and Dreyfuss Road on more than 15 acres of land.
The ballpark, which has hosted greats like Hank Aaron, was built in 1927. It was home to the minor league team Capital City Bombers, and later the Columbia Blowfish collegiate summer league team. But for the past decade, it’s been empty and overgrown.
The city came close to closing a deal in 2019 with Weddle Real Estate Investments, which planned to buy the property for $1.6 million to build apartments and retail stores. But after more than a dozen extensions, those plans also fell through.
The city of Columbia published a Request for Proposals Oct. 3, asking developers to submit plans to purchase the stadium from the city and redevelop it into a public good.
Columbia hopes to attract a “high impact, high value mixed-use” project to the site, according to the documents included with the request for proposals.
The city is also asking developers to include details about how the project would benefit the public and the surrounding community.
The city’s revived effort to redevelop the stadium comes a few months after a local baseball coach took up the mantle to revive the park himself.
Chris Dorsey, co-owner of Big Red Box dumpster company and coach for the American Legion Post Richland 215 baseball program, has been gathering support to keep the property as a baseball stadium.
Dorsey created a Facebook group in early August to garner support for his mission to save the park. It now has almost 2,000 members and thousands of posts in tribute to the stadium.
Dorsey plans to submit a proposal to the city showcasing why it would be valuable to maintain the stadium as a ballpark, he told The State.
He first got the idea to look at the stadium because it was expensive to find fields for his American Legion program, which has roughly 100 youth members, to play on, he previously told The State. But he sees it being used by other athletics programs in the area as well.
The city is accepting proposals for the stadium’s redevelopment until November 1.

Virus outbreak in dogs causes Columbia Animal Shelter to limit intakes, officials say

The outbreak of a virus affecting dogs has caused the Columbia Animal Shelter to temporarily stop providing refuge and care for new animals, according to Animal Services officials.
Pneumovirus has spread in dogs at the shelter, officials said Monday in a news release. It’s believed that the virus was brought in from an outside source, according to the release.
“Pneumovirus is a virus that causes respiratory illness, in which symptoms include coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge and difficulty breathing,” officals said in the release. “There are no vaccinations to protect or treat canines from this virus, therefore it is critically important the shelter exercise immediate quarantine and treatment of its infected population.”
In some cases, dogs that were diagnosed with pneumovirus died or had to be euthanized, Today.com reported.
Because of the outbreak, the shelter near Exit 6 on Interstate 77 is taking action to protect its current population in addition to pets in the community. One step is limiting all intakes to emergencies only — meaning the only new additions to the shelter will be sick or injured animals, or those who are connected to animal cruelty investigations, officials said.
The move is in effect for the next two weeks, according to the release.
“At this time, the shelter will be unable to accommodate pet relinquishment on behalf of owners,” officials said.
While the shelter won’t house most new animals in need, it will continue to offer other forms of help to find a place for those animals to receive care.
“The shelter is able to offer resources to pet owners who need to rehome their pets, to include basic vetting, food and pet rehoming resources,” officials said. “Citizens who find stray animals are encouraged to house the animal and seek the animal’s owner or exercise self-rehoming if efforts to find the owner are unsuccessful. The shelter can offer resources for suggested efforts.”
