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 Greenville, 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. 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.

With those scarred forearms and that brass knuckle tattoo, he might come off as imposing; the guy you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley.
He’s also the chef’s chef, one who’s directed a battalion of cooks at enormous banquets, weddings and special events. He’s a careful planner who loves a spreadsheet, yet his knife skills are impeccable. So, with his skill set and enviable reputation, how is it that Craig Kuhns now teaches cooking classes to audiences of well-dressed ladies?
“I enjoy teaching,” Kuhns said. “It keeps me actively engaged in hospitality without that feeling of impending doom of trying to serve 300 covers on a Friday night.”
I consider Craig a good friend, and I have a lot of respect for him as a chef. Getting in front of an audience isn’t an easy transition for a chef because we’ve spent the bulk of our careers with small crews in tight spaces. However, if a chef wanted to make that transition, Craig is the guy to learn from. He’s light on his feet. He has an impeccable sense of comedic timing. He engages easily with students and bubbles with knowledge while encouraging his guests that a recipe is a beginning.
“A recipe is a starting point, and cooking, the type that expresses one’s culinary journey, is a journey,” Kuhns said. “I’ve been chef here at The Cook’s Station for a few years and after a year or so, I had developed regular customers — folks that had been to multiple classes — and I love it when they show up at the station bragging about their latest accomplishment. Isn’t that why we got into this business? Because we loved cooking and wanted to share what we learned with others, whether they’re customers or students?”
“When you buy garlic, get a lot of it and cure it in salt,” Kuhns said. “Cover the garlic cloves in kosher salt and leave it in there for a few weeks until the garlic is dry. Remove it from the salt, then spread the salt out on a sheet pan and dry it in a low oven. Now you’ve got shelf-stable fresh garlic and real garlic salt, not that nasty stuff from the grocery store.”
As Craig was wrapping up his class and portioning out plates of delicious turkey with a turkey-and-cornbread dressing with his perfect cranberry jam, one of his guests mentioned how enjoyable the class had been.
“There was as much laughter as there was great aromas and delicious food,” Kuhns said.
The Cook’s Station, at 515 Buncombe St. in Greenville, is open seven days a week.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —
(Furman Athletics) -- Four Furman Paladins have earned 2023 Phil Steele FCS All-America honors, it was announced today.
Offensive guard Jacob Johanning and long snapper Julian Ashby were accorded first team All-America honors, and cornerback Travis Blackshear landed second team laurels. Quarterback Carson Jones was a first team pick on the publication's Freshman All-America Team.
Johanning, a product of Simpsonville, S.C., who earlier this week was named an Associated Press FCS All-American and collected an invitation to the 2024 Hula Bowl, was recognized as the SoCon's top offensive lineman by capturing the Jacobs Blocking Award this fall. A two-time consensus first team all-conference selection, he registered 39 starts and 2,652 play participations in his career. Holder of a 3.53 GPA in business administration, the senior was also named to the SoCon All-Academic Honor Roll four times and was a three-time SoCon All-Academic Team selection.
Ashby's first team All-America selection capped an outstanding career that saw him handle Furman's snapping duties for PATs, field goals, and punts over the last four seasons, successfully executing 412 snaps while working with a pair of All-SoCon punters and an all-conference placekicker. A senior physics major from Lilburn, Ga., Ashby boasted a 3.97 GPA and was a three-time Southern Conference All-Academic Team and four-time SoCon Academic Honor Roll selection. He was a finalist for the 2023 Doris Robinson Award.
A three-time All-SoCon honoree during his Paladin career and a third team AP All-America pick in 2023, Blackshear's career spanned 58 games and a program record 51 starts, A graduate student and Savannah, Ga., native, he helped headline a Furman defense that ranked among the best in the FCS this fall, totaling 29 tackles, four interceptions, and nine pass breakups. Two of his four interceptions came in games against Chattanooga — the first in Furman's 17-14, SoCon title clinching win over the Mocs in Chattanooga, and second in the Paladins' 26-7 triumph over UTC in second round playoff action. Blackshear finished his career with 200 tackles and 13 interceptions — the pickoffs tally good seventh in Furman history. He returned three interceptions for touchdowns. Blackshear earned his undergraduate degree in Asian studies.
Jones played a pivotal role in Furman's 10-3, SoCon championship season this fall, appearing in six games and completing 57-of-101 passes for 542 yards and seven touchdowns. A Maryville, Tenn., product, Jones came off the bench for injured Paladin signal caller Tyler Huff to pass for 139 yards and two touchdowns, including an 8-yard scoring toss with 1:44 remaining, to deliver a 17-14 league title clinching win over Chattanooga on Nov. 4. The next week, in his first collegiate start, he threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-3 victory over VMI that gave Furman the 2023 outright league championship. Jones was named co-Freshman Offensive Player of the Year in balloting by league coaches.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Six new tenants, including two national retailers, have been announced for the County Square redevelopment project in downtown Greenville.
RocaPoint Partners announced Friday that Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma are each planning a retail store at the $1 billion mixed-use development.
The two national brands will anchor the development alongside the previously announced Whole Foods Market.
Also joining the County Square project will be Sports & Social and PBR Cowboy Bar which will be opened by The Cordish Companies.
The 23,000-square-foot sports bar and entertainment venue will be the first of its kind in South Carolina. The company has a similar entertainment space as part of Live! at the Battery Atlanta.
They join other entertainment options set to open at County Square including Fairway Social and Pins Mechanical.
New food options coming to Greenville include Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, Hawkers, and The Salty.
The Fleming’s location will be their first in South Carolina.
Hawkers will serve authentic Asian street food while The Salty will sell gourmet donuts, baked goods, and coffee.
Those restaurants join previously announced food outlets at the development including Perch Kitchen and Tap, Agave Bandido, Jinya Ramen Bar, and Ben & Jerry’s.
“Greenville County Square is moving full steam ahead,” said Patrick Leonard, principal at RocaPoint Partners. “We’ve seen enormous interest in the project as Greenville continues to be a market that attracts high-quality tenants. With an upswing in population and a desirable quality of life for residents, it’s no surprise companies and retailers are choosing to bring their businesses to this charming downtown, many for the first time.”
Crews are in the process of demolishing the old country administration building on the project site.
Construction has also begun on roads and infrastructure within the County Square development.
Once complete, the project is estimated to add around three million square feet of new buildings to downtown Greenville.

Greenville, SC—Recently, I got the opportunity to sit down with Swamp Rabbits Head Coach Andrew Lord.
I asked Coach Lord what he thought of the recent game performance against Atlanta on Wednesday (Dec. 13).
“I thought we were solid. You know we didn’t give up too much defensively, which is great. I liked our start, obviously – a goal 12 seconds in any chance, anytime you can. Special teams are good. You know the third-period power-play goal was important to give us some breathing room again, and you know the PK, we didn’t give anything up; probably could have been better in some areas, but not giving one up was great. So, yeah, take it – they’re a very good team, it’s a top division, so you take a win anytime you can.”
Additionally, I followed up with his thoughts on the new record of 18-5-0
“It’s good, it’s a good start. It would help us kind of get off to a good start just being a little further ahead knowing each other; you don’t know when the game plan will change, and I think that’s been a positive so far. Knock on wood injury-wise, we’ve been pretty good as well; I think we’ve had some really good depth. I think, when we had the injuries or call-ups, guys have stepped in and done a heck of a job, so it’s good – It’s a really good start. That being said, it is only a start; we’re a long way away; there’s 72 games.”
I asked what it’s like to coach for the Swamp Rabbits for four straight seasons.
“I’ve really enjoyed it. The COVID year, we had a heck of a team; we unfortunately lost in the Conference Finals; we were a little bit older, we had a few experienced players. Then the league was certainly souped up with half the teams playing, and it was very, very competitive. I thought that was a very great start for the new ownership, new organization, and us as a staff. Second year was good as well—got off to a terrible start – we actually lost ten games in a row – and then an awesome rebound to make it into the playoffs. And I think we definitely made some strides growing as a group that year ago. And then last year was solid, as well; it’s just unfortunate to get knocked out in the first round, which was disappointing. And then, I say right now is probably the most complete we’ve been organizationally; I think we’ve grown as a group on and off the ice. I think our team, with how many returning guys we have, It’s just really well run; turning into a really running machine, and it’s really exciting right now.”
I asked him what he likes about the LA Kings and Ontario Reign affiliation, as this marks the 2nd season of the conjoined organizations.
“It’s an amazing thing. We’re really fortunate, to be honest – the Kings’ – all three teams are doing really well which is which is fun right now, but they do everything first-class; they’re not only great on the performance on the ice but just how they treat their players, their staff — the professionalism; and we see that when I get to go to NHL camp, and some of our staff does as well, the communication on a daily basis, they genuinely care about our level. Some of the players they send down here for development, they’re all great, they’re great people, they respect this league; they come in and they work really hard. So, from a cultural standpoint, it’s awesome. And then just learning from them, they really help us and support us any way they can to just develop on a day-to-day basis; so we’re extremely fortunate to have it, and I think at the same time, I think we provide a real service in the development piece being a bit of an extension of them – a little bit of a pipeline down here where they can put some players and just bolster their numbers and have had some depth to the whole thing.”
I asked Coach Lord what his thoughts are on the recent goaltending of Ryan Bednard and Jacob Ingham, both of whom are contracted with the Ontario Reign.
“Yeah, I mean, the goalies are awesome; they’re a real backbone of our team right now. You know, we’ve had Bedzy for a number of years now, and just being or in another American League deal with an organization is so fantastic, and I think through the coaching and the extra time they’re putting in his games, he developed even more, even though he is somewhat of a veteran goalie in this league. And he’s just so steady and calm, and he’s been off to an amazing start. I’m really proud of him. And then Iggy’s battle with the injury; he’s also been here for a couple years, and coming off the entry-level American League deal is great to see and him still with the organization and really playing his best hockey that he’s played. He’s healthy right now, knock on wood, another great guy – works really hard – I think he’s matured so much, and you know this game certainly has to, so I think the best is yet to come for both those guys, and we’re fortunate to have them here.”
