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 Hilton Head Island, 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.

Lowcountry home values have jumped overall in recent years, but some areas have done much better than others, new U.S. Census data shows.
The 2019-2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimates released last week show that home values in the U.S. jumped 21.7% compared to similar 5-year data taken for 2014-2018. Median value jumped to $303,400 from $249,400 over that time frame.
Meanwhile, the number of owner-occupied homes in the U.S. rose by 8.4% to 82.9 million from 76.4 million, the data shows.
Like the rest of the nation, median home values increased in the Lowcountry between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 data periods. For the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal metro area, median home value jumped to $393,100 from $273,600 during the above time periods — a 44% increase.
Below are the changes in median home values for counties in the Lowcountry.
County | 2019-2023 home values | 2014-2018 home values | Percent change |
Allendale | $61,600 | $52,100 | 18.23% |
Bamberg | $96,000 | $71,400 | 34.5% |
Beaufort | $407,600 | $288,900 | 41.1% |
Berkeley | $280,300 | $174,000 | 61.1% |
Calhoun | $148,800 | $104,000 | 43.1% |
Charleston | $450,800 | $295,600 | 52.5% |
Colleton | $145,900 | $85,100 | 71.4% |
Dorchester | $294,400 | $186,300 | 58% |
Hampton | $102,400 | $73,000 | 40.3% |
Jasper | $269,400 | $154,400 | 74.5% |
Orangeburg | $109,700 | $93,200 | 18% |
There are a number of factors that can cause home values to rise, according to HomeLight. Among the most notable are location, housing supply and housing demand.
Much of the U.S. has struggled with insufficient housing supply for years. The U.S. faces a 5.5-million-unit housing shortage, a research report commissioned by the National Association of of Realtors states.
This problem of insufficient supply has been exacerbated in South Carolina by fast-growing demand. For years, South Carolina has been among the fastest growing states through the attraction of new residents.
In terms of numeric growth, South Carolina ranked fifth highest among the states in 2023 — gaining 90,600 year-over-year, Census data shows. South Carolina’s population growth only followed behind Georgia, North Carolina, Florida and Texas.

AAA is forecasting a record-breaking number of holiday travelers this season, with over 119 million Americans expected to hit the roads, skies and rails between Dec. 21 and Jan. 1. This is an increase of 3 million travelers from last year and the highest travel volume since 2019.
South Carolina is no exception, with many locals planning trips to see family, head to warmer destinations, or explore the state’s scenic spots, with Charleston being one of the top 10 destination spots for the holidays this year.
This jump in travel volume is being driven by consumer spending as inflation is starting to slow down.
Record Holiday Travel: AAA predicts that over 119 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this holiday season, with nearly 107 million of them taking road trips.
Gas Prices & Road Trips: South Carolina’s gas prices are expected to be competitive with last year, hovering around $2.74 per gallon, which is slightly lower than the $2.86 average from last December.
This could make driving a more attractive option for families planning holiday road trips. Popular destinations for South Carolinians include Charleston, Myrtle Beach and other regional hot spots.
Air Travel: Nearly 8 million people are expected to fly this holiday season, including many from South Carolina airports like Charleston International.
While flights will be busy, the average cost for a domestic ticket is $830, which is 4% more expensive than last year. International flights are higher, averaging around $1,630.
Cruise Travel: Cruises are another popular choice for families this time of year, and bookings are up 37%. Some South Carolinians are opting for cruises from Florida or nearby ports in Charleston, with the Caribbean and Bahamas topping the list of popular destinations.
Expect Crowded Roads: With an extra 2.5 million people on the road, traffic is expected to be heavy, especially on Dec. 21 and 22.
AAA recommends travelers plan ahead and allow extra time for trips, especially on I-26, I-95 and other major highways.
Here are the best and worst times to travel by car during the holidays, according to AAA.
Date | Worst Travel Time | Best Travel Time |
Thursday, Dec 19 | 3:00 – 8:00 PM | Before 11:00 AM |
Friday, Dec 20 | 1:00 – 8:00 PM | Before 11:00 AM |

Remember Safety First: Always follow posted speed limits, take breaks every 2 hours on long trips and ensure you are well-rested before driving.
If you’re planning a road trip, expect the busiest times to be in the late afternoon and evening hours, especially as Christmas approaches.
Drivers in areas like Charleston, Columbia and Greenville should be prepared for some delays, but those traveling early in the day or later at night will most likely avoid the congestion.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) was started in 1902 by automotive enthusiasts who wanted to chart a path for better roads in America and advocate for safe mobility.
Today, AAA is a privately held not-for-profit national member association and service organization with over 60 million members in the United States and Canada. It is one of North America’s largest membership organizations and provides trusted financial and insurance services. AAA delivers roadside assistance, helps travelers plan their vacations and offers exclusive member discounts and benefits.
