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.

When it comes to junk removal in Hinsdale, IL, 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.

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.

HINSDALE, IL – A critic who has long focused on the disparity between Hinsdale South and Central high schools is presenting his latest evidence of the gap.
Last month, Burr Ridge resident Alan Hruby released a new video on the issue in Hinsdale High School District 86.
He accused the district of downplaying the gap between course offerings at the two schools. Three years ago, he asserted the same thing, and the district later acknowledged "a little oversight" in its data.
South has half the enrollment of the wealthier Central, so course selection at South is historically smaller.
In early November, Hruby gave District 86 officials an early viewing of the video, asking them to correct him if he made mistakes. He also copied Patch in the email to the officials.
In response, Superintendent Michael Lach said issues involving course selection and opportunities are "important, complicated and likely perceived in different ways by different stakeholders."
Hruby gave officials four days to view the video and make corrections. Lach bristled at that.
"I'll admit that receiving a deadline from a community member I haven't sat down with a copy to the press seems more like a 'gotcha' than an effort to make things better in our district for our students," Lach said.
On Monday, Patch left messages with Lach and the school board's president, Catherine Greenspon, about the video. They did not respond.
In his video, Hruby disagreed with the "gotcha" accusation.
"To suggest that my video might be a 'gotcha' is to ignore the history of curriculum disparity concealment that has permeated the D86 atmosphere for years," he said. "That concealment is not a one-off."
This school year, Hruby said, 55 general education courses at Hinsdale Central are not running at South.
Those Central courses are being taken by about 2,000 students each semester, he said.
Every March, the board hears a presentation on staffing for each school. This year, the administration presented a list of "low request courses" at South. In other words, only a handful of students requested them, so they were canceled.
The number of "low request courses" is far lower than 55.
That's because the district leaves out two other significant categories for courses offered at Central, but not South, Hruby said. He refers to this as District 86's "black hole."
One of the unmentioned categories involves courses not even in South's program of studies. This consists of 13 courses offered at Central, but not at South, Hruby said.
The other category involved 33 courses that got zero requests at South.
In 2022, Hruby said, a top district official contended zero-enrollment courses would go away as the district finished its alignment of enrollments at the two schools.
"Well, it's been more than two years now, and it hasn't gone away," he said. "Could that be why the D86 administration doesn't bring up the subject?"
For years, the district has pointed out that a few courses run at South, but not at Central. Prominent among them is American Sign Language. Last month, the school board voted to offer that course at Central.
In his video, Hruby said the district lectures about equity, but ignores the gap between South and Central. The full spectrum of abilities, he said, runs through both schools.
He said 31 percent of South's test takers scored at or above the Central median score of 610 on the SAT. At the same time, 26 percent of Central test takers scored at or below the South median score of 520.
"Yet South students must repeatedly fight against this recurring bigotry," he said. That "ignores the range of student capabilities at each school and instead stereotypes Central students as academically superior to South students and thus entitled to unique opportunities that South students don't deserve because they allegedly don't measure up."
For years, some South residents have called for changing the attendance boundary between the two schools to equalize enrollments and thus course opportunities.
But this is largely an unspoken subject at board meetings. It is considered politically toxic because Central residents near the boundary fear their home values would plunge if the line shifted.
Hruby has spoken for a boundary change before, but doesn't mention it in the latest video.

HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale High School District 86's board voted unanimously last week for "sunsetting" German courses at both campuses.
And they agreed to add American Sign Language to Hinsdale Central's curriculum.
The German decision was the result of two factors – the program's enrollment is plunging and the two main teachers are retiring at the end of the school year.
At Central, 89 students are enrolled in German courses now, compared with nearly 150 five years ago.
At South, 16 are in the courses now, down from 24.
The schools have had to combine different levels of German in one class because of low enrollment – which is known as "stacking" in school jargon.
The district has struggled to find new German teachers. It has been following leads nationwide and around the world, Superintendent Michael Lach told the board at last week's meeting.
These days, he said, finding German teachers is so hard they are compared to unicorns.
With sunsetting, the district will let current students take German through the rest of their high school years, but won't let any new students into the program.
The district employs a third German teacher who teaches the language part time and plans to retire at the end of the next school year.
As for American Sign Language, it has been taught for years at South because a regional special education cooperative houses a program for deaf students there.
The larger Central has a more extensive selection of courses than South. That is something South residents have long complained about.
But Central residents, including board members, have noted South offers a few courses that Central does not – prominent among them American Sign Language.
The board voted on sunsetting German and adding sign language to Central as a package.
In a few years, the state will require students to have two years of world languages. After German goes away, the district will have four world languages – sign, Spanish, French and Latin.
As for German, Lyons Township High School offers such courses, while York High School does not, according to their programs of studies.
