The Top Junk Removal Company in Columbia, 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 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.

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 governor urges people to be prepared as Ian approaches state

Henry McMaster will brief the state alongside the National Guard, law enforcement leaders, and the state's emergency agency.

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is urging people to be prepared as state officials continue to prepare for the effects of Hurricane Ian, which is expected to come to the state later this week.

McMaster held a briefing with leaders of several key state agencies at the state's emergency operations center in West Columbia Tuesday afternoon.

"Continue with your activities but prepare for the worst and hope for the best," McMaster said.

Right now, McMaster has not issued a state of emergency or any other orders, but he said that's still a possibility, depending on how the forecast changes.

The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center has Ian moving moving inland in central Florida, somewhere around the Tampa, on Wednesday. There still remains some uncertainty of where it goes next, but the consensus track has the Ian dumping rain in South Carolina on Friday ahead of the storm and the actual circulation of the system coming into the state by early Saturday morning. By then, however, it would be either a weak tropical storm or a tropical depression.

A tropical storm watch and a storm surge watch have been issued for the coast as a precaution.

Regardless of the path, the storm would bring heavy rain to the state, with some models projecting anywhere from 3 to 6 inches in the Midlands region, with possibly higher totals right along the coast. There would also be a possibility of severe storms.

The South Carolina Emergency Management Division said Monday that people should review their home safety plans and consider what action they will take if the storm threatens the state. They said people particularly in low-lying areas and along the coast should monitor the storm via local media.

Already some large public events have been rescheduled because of the storm. The University of South Carolina rescheduled Saturday's home game against SC State from Saturday afternoon to Thursday night, and many high school football games have also been moved up.

State leadership says S.C. is prepared ahead of Hurricane Ian but asks residents to have a plan

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Governor Henry McMaster and the South Carolina Emergency Management Division said the state is ready for the storm, but residents need to be their own personal emergency managers.Hurricane Ian was upgraded to a Category 3 Tuesday morning before making landfall in Cuba.

Hurricane Ian was upgraded to a Category 3 Tuesday morning before making landfall in Cuba. The storm is expected to strengthen to a Category 4 by the time it reaches Florida.

Officials with the National Weather Service and SCEMD identified flooding, down trees, and isolated tornados as potential consequences of the storm.

They asked residents to stock up on supplies and have a plan in the event that staying at home is not an option.

S.C. Office of Regulatory Staff Director Nanette Edwards said the state has adequate fuel supplies, but residents should plan for power outages.

“If you are a medical needs customer, and you are reliant on power, we would recommend that you look at making some alternative arrangements,” she said.

DHEC Director Dr. Edward Simmer asked that those who own private dams be conscious of their condition, work with other private dam owners nearby on water levels, and alert DHEC in the event of issues (along with first responders if necessary).

WIS asked NWS Warning Coordination Meteorologist John Quagliariello about potential impacts on infrastructure.

“Based on the current forecast now of tropical storm force winds, you typically wouldn’t get much damage to well-built structures. Certainly, with those kinds of wind speeds, you could see down trees and powerlines, outdoor loose objects blowing around,” he said.

McMaster said evacuation plans are in place if they are needed, but none have been activated.

“[The decision] will be made if necessary, we don’t know when that’s going to be.”

For the first time in 2022, a hurricane is forecast to make landfall in the U.S.

While there is a lot of uncertainty about Hurricane Ian’s track, it is expected to affect the Columbia area this week, National Weather Service meteorologist Pierce Larkin told The State Monday.

Gusty 20-30 mph winds caused by the powerful storm could start blowing across the Midlands beginning Wednesday, when temperatures are forecast to drop, Larkin said. A high near 70 is predicted to be Friday’s peak temperature, according to the National Weather Service.

Ian’s strongest effects are forecast to hit the area on Friday as heavy rain and thunderstorms could join the increasingly powerful winds, according to Larkin.

But Larkin warned that it is still too early to tell how severe the weather will be in the Columbia area.

“There’s quite a bit of uncertainty, which is unusual for a storm this close,” Larkin said.

Some of the uncertainty is created because forecasters can’t predict how landfall will impact the hurricane’s speed or track.

The current forecasts shows there could be anywhere from 3-5 inches of rainfall in the Midlands, according to Larkin.

Some of the winds could potentially form into tornadoes, but Larkin stressed so much could change once the hurricane moves beyond the Gulf of Mexico.

“It depends on how Ian progresses, but it’s just too early to tell,” Larkin said.

As of Monday morning no warnings, watches, or advisories were issued by the National Weather Service. That could change as the hurricane moves closer.

The rain is expected to begin Thursday, and there’s currently a 60% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms in Friday’s forecast for Columbia.

As Ian continues to move north of the Midlands, there’s still the possibility for more rain over the weekend, but the likelihood lessens from Saturday to Sunday, according to the forecast. And temperatures are expected to increase as the storm moves on, with potential highs approaching the mid to upper 70s over the weekend.

“The effects would move on by the end of the weekend as Ian pulls out of the area,” Larkin said.

The South Carolina Emergency Management Division has notified local and state agencies to be ready to respond if the need arises and said people in potentially vulnerable areas should consider actions they will need to take if the storm threatens the state.

“Much of what South Carolina experiences will depend on where and when Hurricane Ian makes landfall,” SCEMD Director Kim Stenson said in a news release. “While we are not expecting the full force of a hurricane-strength storm, everyone in South Carolina, from the Upstate to the Midlands, the Pee Dee and the Lowcountry should be prepared to take personal safety precautions if advised to do so by your local emergency managers.”

Ian is the fourth Atlantic hurricane of the season, and the first expected to make landfall in the U.S.

At 5 a.m. Monday, the hurricane was moving northwest at 13 mph toward Cuba, and had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

“Rapid strengthening is expected during the next day or so, and Ian is forecast to become a major hurricane (Monday night) when it is near western Cuba,” the National Hurricane Center said.

Ian could make landfall in Florida around the middle of the week, possibly on the western coast or Panhandle, forecasters told the Associated Press.

It’s unlikely Ian will still be at hurricane strength when it reaches the Midlands. But it will be the first named storm to hit the Columbia area since the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred washed through in August 2021, according to Larkin.

The threat of severe weather has prompted some high school football teams in South Carolina to adjust to this week’s game schedule, with some moving to either Wednesday or Thursday.

It was unclear whether Ian will have an affect on college football games in the Palmetto State. The South Carolina and Clemson football teams are home Saturday, with the Gamecocks hosting S.C. State at noon and the Tigers hosting N.C. State at 7:30 p.m. ESPN “College GameDay” is scheduled to broadcast its show on Saturday from Clemson beginning at 9 a.m.

Secretary Haaland Visits South Carolina to Highlight Efforts to Tell America’s Story

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland traveled to South Carolina today to highlight the Interior Department’s commitment to help tell a more complete story of America.

Secretary Haaland, National Park Service (NPS) Director Chuck Sams and Congressman James E. Clyburn visited sites that will soon be part of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park. President Biden signed the Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park Expansion and Redesignation Act into law in May, providing for inclusion of additional related sites in the National Park System to reflect a more complete story of the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation in public schools.

In Summerton, Secretary Haaland and the group toured Summerton High School and Scott’s Branch High School. Built in 1936 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Summerton High School was an all-white school that refused to admit Black students, prompting the Briggs v. Elliott case which challenged school segregation. Built in 1951 under the guise of providing facilities comparable to those for white students, Scott’s Branch High School served as an “equalization school" for Black students. Along with other sites in Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia, these two school sites will be added to the Historical Park upon acquisition by NPS.

The group also visited Benedict College to highlight investments to preserve Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Established in 1870 during the Reconstruction Era, Benedict College initially trained teachers and preachers but later grew to include more traditional academic and trade professions. The college has received $3 million from NPS’ HBCU grant program which helps document, preserve and stabilize historic structures on the campuses of HBCUs. In 2022, NPS is investing $9.7 million in 21 projects across 9 states to preserve noteworthy districts, buildings and sites on HBCU campuses that honor the past and tell the ongoing story of these vital institutions.

Secretary Haaland and the leaders group later celebrated a new cooperative agreement between NPS and the University of South Carolina’s Center for Civil Rights Research to conserve and better understand American civil rights history. With a $3.4 million investment, NPS and the Center will advance much-needed scholarship and serve as a national model for interdisciplinary work in civil rights history, research, and education. The partnership will support expansion of the Center’s work and establish new ways to deepen the understanding of pivotal moments and people in the American civil rights movement.

South Carolina moving football game day vs SC State because of hurricane

South Carolina will move its football game against S.C. State to Thursday night ahead of this weekend’s possible impacts from Hurricane Ian, the school announced Tuesday morning.

The game will kick off at 7 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium.

The storm is projected to make landfall early Thursday morning on the west coast of Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center, with latest forecasts for effects on South Carolina into Friday and Saturday.

The State previously reported earlier on Tuesday morning that the game was expected to be moved.

“Due to the potential impact of the hurricane on Columbia and the surrounding area, it is in the best interest of safety to play the game on Thursday rather than Saturday afternoon,” South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner said in a news release. “I appreciate the cooperation of South Carolina State head coach Buddy Pough, the South Carolina State administration and the Southeastern Conference officials who worked closely to make the appropriate operational adjustments in order to accommodate this change in the schedule.”

All tickets issued for Saturday’s game will be honored on Thursday, per USC.

The school also announced it is postponing the reunion of the 2010-2013 football teams that was slotted for this weekend to a later date.

South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer told reporters on Sunday night during his weekly teleconference he had yet to have any kind of discussions about possibly shifting the contest due to impending rain.

“I didn’t know until this morning 100% for sure (the game would be moved),” Beamer told reporters during his regular press conference on Tuesday afternoon. “We knew before we hit the practice field at 9:45 a.m. today. It’s a quick turnaround. You can’t do everything.”

Beamer noted that he and his staff had communication with the Miami Dolphins, who play their own Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals this week.

“We told our players this morning it’s a lot like the NFL players that play on Sundays and then turn right back around and play on Thursday,” Beamer said.

South Carolina has moved games due to weather in recent years. The 2016 USC-Georgia game was shifted to a Sunday due to Hurricane Matthew. The 2015 South Carolina-LSU contest was also moved from Columbia to Baton Rouge following flooding in the area.

The 2018 game between South Carolina and Marshall was canceled due to weather. It was replaced at the end of the season by a game between USC and Akron.

USC heads into the contest at 2-2 after downing Charlotte 56-20 on Saturday. South Carolina has yet to win a Southeastern Conference game this fall, dropping its first two league contests to No. 1 Georgia and No. 20 Arkansas.

FCS foe S.C. State is 1-2 on the season.

It will be the Gamecocks and Bulldogs’ third meeting all time. The two schools’ campuses are 45 minutes apart.

When: 7 p.m. Thursday

Where: Williams-Brice Stadium — Columbia, SC
