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.

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.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many South Carolina culinary enthusiasts may be looking for the best new areas to plan their reservations.
Luckily, Mixbook, a highly-rated photo book company, recently ran a survey ahead of the famed holiday of 3,000 couples to uncover the best destinations across the country where couples wish to dine for their anniversary.
Of these responses, four areas across the Palmetto State ranked highly among the best locations in the country for couples to experience the local culinary scene for special occasions. Two of these locales even ranked among the top 10.
First of these is the Lowcountry destination of Hilton Head Island in the state’s southernmost region.
Hilton Head took third overall of 200 total best districts for dinner dates in America as the resort destination is acclaimed for upscale dining against the backdrop of a picturesque island.
“Its relaxed and elegant atmosphere, combined with stunning natural beauty, makes it a prime choice for sophisticated dining in a coastal setting,” detailed the survey.
Next, Myrtle Beach landed in 10th overall for its oceanfront dining experiences, both casual and upscale, for its idyllic scenery and backdrop for a romantic evening.
Charleston’s Historic District was ranked 46th overall, while downtown Greenville came in at 181st on the list.
The top 10 destinations that serve as the best districts in the nation for a romantic dining experience, according to the study, include:
Worries of missing and stolen mail from the U.S. Postal Service in Hilton Head have reached into the new year, but officials remain silent on the cause and potential solutions.“Never in my life have I seen such horrific and irresponsible service from a Post Office,” said Windmill Harbor resident Lisa Fields, who says Hilton Head’s mail service has misplaced $150 in gift cards on top of a score of checks and packages. “I’m tired of being stolen from.”Emails obtained last summer from an adminis...
Worries of missing and stolen mail from the U.S. Postal Service in Hilton Head have reached into the new year, but officials remain silent on the cause and potential solutions.
“Never in my life have I seen such horrific and irresponsible service from a Post Office,” said Windmill Harbor resident Lisa Fields, who says Hilton Head’s mail service has misplaced $150 in gift cards on top of a score of checks and packages. “I’m tired of being stolen from.”
Emails obtained last summer from an administrator at the Office of Inspector General confirmed a female employee at the island’s north-end Post Office had been allegedly nabbing gift cards and discarding stolen checks from residents’ mail. She was reportedly “removed” from the location to minimize losses, although the USPS has not officially verified the events or released the name of the employee.
The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette received over two dozen reports of missing mail dating back to June 2022, totaling $2,315 in value. New stories suggest the issue hasn’t been resolved.
When mail does get delivered, Fields said, it often goes to the wrong people — certain good Samaritans “from all around the island” have brought her some pieces of misplaced mail.
The problem extends beyond the missing items, Fields emphasized. She’s been charged late fees for mailed payments that never arrive, and has repeatedly re-delivered packages that were mistakenly left on her doorstep. “It’s constant stress. Constant,” she said.
Fields’ experience is corroborated by a number of users on the neighborhood social media site NextDoor, where initial rumors of mail theft began to swirl last summer. Most complaints cite missing contents from packages that had obviously been opened or tampered with.
Representatives from the Office of Inspector General in Columbia have maintained throughout that the Postal Service “does not confirm or refute” information on ongoing theft investigations, but residents can report missing mail by filing an online complaint at https://www.uspsoig.gov/hotline.
It’s been a tough year for mail in and around Beaufort County. Just before the holidays, residents and business owners in Ridgeland complained of massively delayed deliveries, which the Postal Service attributed to a staffing shortage.
The reported problems are not contained to federal postal service — they are also extending to the private United Parcel Service (UPS). In October 2023, Sun City resident Marcus Stineman was arrested for reportedly tampering with and stealing from packages while on the job at a UPS processing facility on Hilton Head. In a disposition on Thursday, Stineman was fined $50 after entering a plea of nolo contendere — meaning he didn’t contest the charges but refused to admit guilt.
Mailing funds through a money order or check is preferable, according to the USPS, although those mailing cash can insure it up to $50,000.

A strong storm system battered Beaufort County with rain and heavy winds Tuesday afternoon — but reported damages appeared to be minimal as power slowly returned to the Lowcountry.
Fire officials from across the county said the volume of storm-related calls was about what they expected. Despite a sizable number of downed trees, no injuries or significant property damage was reported.
Just after 3 p.m., crews from the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department responded to a small structure fire at a business in the 1800 block of Boundary Street, which closed the roadway for less than an hour in downtown Beaufort. The flames were put out by a fire extinguisher and likely started in a surge protector, according to spokesperson Ross Vezin.
Beaufort County power outages peaked at nearly 17,000 affected customers around 4 p.m. Tuesday, with Palmetto Electric Cooperative’s Hilton Head customers experiencing widespread blackouts after a small tree impacted a mid-island Santee Cooper power line. Power outages dwindled as the night went on. As of 9 p.m., Poweroutage.us reported just over 1,000 households without power — nearly all of which came from Dominion Energy.
Winds reached a high point around 4 p.m. Tuesday, with a maximum sustained wind speed of 37 m.p.h and gusts reaching up to 53 m.p.h., according to data from the National Weather Service (NWS).
Although the local tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning ended before 6 p.m., Beaufort and Jasper Counties were still under a handful of weather warnings Tuesday night: a high surf advisory until midnight and a wind advisory lasting to 6 a.m. Wednesday.
The NWS also issued a special weather statement Tuesday night, warning of downed trees and power lines that might impact drivers overnight — especially on secondary roads and rural highways.
Other areas of the southeast and south had more extensive damage as wind, possibly from tornadoes, ravaged areas of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, as well as North and South Carolina. In Florida’s panhandle, images of a marina building and mobile homes severely damaged by the storm demonstrated the force of the storm as it moved across the states.
Meteorologists on The Weather Channel devoted Tuesday to tracking what they called a 600-mile long cyclone that moved from states near the Gulf of Mexico to all the way up the eastern seaboard, bringing winds, rain, and tornadoes to the south and wet snowfall to the northeast.
In Bamberg, SC, reports of a tornado touching down near a Edisto Electric Cooperative building causing damage will be investigated Wednesday as cleanup activities are completed.

HITLON HEAD ISLAND, Sc. (WTOC) - Idalia is now hours clear of our area, but WTOC has been on Hilton Head since noon Wednesday tracking the conditions.
“This one appears to be the storm that just wasn’t,” said Hilton Head resident Robert Harris.
Idalia huffed and puffed testing every ounce of strength in all kinds of objects.
But with all said and done, residents here are thankful it wasn’t worse.
“A lot of wind a lot of rain. Nothing too crazy like what we really expected,” said Hilton Head resident Alex Harris.
We saw conditions worsen as the storm approached, but the town’s mayor says the only thing damaged is property.
“We’re at 28-30 trees that have fallen whether over roadways, cars or houses,” said Mayor Alan Perry.
With zero injuries reported on Hilton Head Island at this time, efforts to take care of those few dozen trees are already taking priority.
”We’ve got crews out there already that are working on some of the trees. The fire department responded to that and got them cut off and moved away and then tomorrow they’ll go through and get them picked up but come the weekend it’ll be back to business back to normal.”
He expects Labor Day tourism business to go off like Idalia never even happened... another storm to be looked back on as nothing more than a stress test.
“It’s also a good time to run your programs to make certain you’re prepared for the big one.”
Some of the other concerns emergency management had coming into this storm were flooding and storm surge. As far as flooding goes, the mayor says they’ll assess Thursday morning with daylight.
Although he says around the island, there was more rain Tuesday and Wednesday morning than Wednesday afternoon. As far as storm surge goes, he says the tide never got as high as they were worried it could, and the storm moving through when it did helped mitigate any impacts they might’ve seen from that.

For two glorious days, the Lowcountry’s air will cool, the humidity will plummet and there won’t be a raindrop in sight.
Sunday and Monday’s temperatures are forecast to dip into the low 50s in the evening and needle to the mid 70s at peak warmth, as a cold front pushes through.
But don’t get too excited. These days are outliers in the meteorological world.
Douglas Berry, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Charleston office, said the crisp temperatures are about 10 to 15 degrees below what’s typical. According to Berry, it’s some of the coolest air the state’s had in quite some time.
He called the next few days a “quiet period.”
It’s a far cry from threats of tropical storms and hurricanes throughout September and Tropical Storm Idalia’s brush of Beaufort County’s coast in late August. The latest storm, post-tropical storm Philippe, won’t be a major bother to South Carolina.
New England and portions of Atlantic Canada will get the brunt of Philippe’s remnants, bringing the possibility of heavy rainfall and gusty winds, the National Hurricane Center said.
In South Carolina, coastal waters could be “somewhat bumpy,” the state’s Severe Weather Liaison Frank Strait said. It’s likely a small craft advisory will be issued for Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Temperatures will spring back up to the 80s on Tuesday, and later in the week the state could get between 1 and 2 inches of rain.
But Strait warned to keep vigilant of tropical waves churning in the Atlantic that could form into tropical storms.
“We don’t have any current threats but the hurricane season is far from over,” Strait said Friday. He the referenced Hurricane Hazel, which made landfall on Oct. 15 in 1954.
Of all the tropical waves Strait is watching, he said one moving off of West Africa and over the Atlantic Ocean on Friday could form into a tropical storm.
However, it’s “too early to say for certain that it never will affect the United States,” Strait said.
