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 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.
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. That's why business owners in South Carolina trust the Labor Bros - because we make their lives easier and more productive, at a reasonable rate. If you're sick of making complicated arrangements that don't fit your business needs, it's time to call our office.

HINSDALE, IL – The coming departure of a top Hinsdale High School District 86 official has sparked a social media debate.
On Monday night, the Lisle School District 202 board approved Jason Markey, District 86's assistant superintendent for academics, as its new assistant superintendent starting July 1. His pay will be about the same.
In a post on the "D86 Strong" Facebook page, Burr Ridge resident Yvonne Mayer, a longtime critic of the school board, wrote about the list of high-profile departures since mid-2023 in District 86.
She also referred to the teachers union's call last year for board President Catherine Greenspon's ouster.
She asked school board candidates for their views.
In response, candidate Liz Mitha of Darien said she disliked the turnover.
"The continued leadership turnover at D86 is deeply concerning; when senior leadership departs for a lateral position with effectively flat pay, that usually indicates that he/she is dissatisfied with an organization," she said.
Among other things, she encouraged the board to invite the Illinois Association of School Boards to conduct training in effective governance.
Another candidate, Bobby Fischer of Hinsdale, said Lisle was lucky to have Markey. He thanked Markey for his hard work.
Fischer said that in his business career, he finds that organizational changes, including departures, often reflect "strategic realignment and rigorous performance management rather than problems."
"I’d need much more information to know how many of the above departures were, in hindsight, favorable for our taxpayers and our students," Fischer said. "I'm quite interested in what the board can do to strengthen our leadership pipeline, particularly at the department chair level where curriculum expertise directly impacts student success."
In the original version of his Facebook post, Fischer said he fully supported Greenspon's leadership, saying she has consistently put students first, worked tirelessly and earned the support of the district's 54,000 voters.
He also said the same goes for board members Jeff Waters and Asma Akhras. Greenspon and the other two members are the only ones who are set to remain after the April 1 election.
In a later edited version of his post, Fischer said he disagreed with some of Greenspon's decisions and did not have all the facts on who he would support as the next board president.
He left untouched his statement about Greenspon's hard work and her earning voters' backing.
"I think we all should support the elected members of the Board, because we have a lot of work to do and will do that work best as a united team," Fischer said.
Last year, Greenspon was re-elected by her colleagues for a second year as board president. It was the first such unanimous vote for president in four years.
Before her re-election, the board had six presidents in five years – Bill Carpenter, Nancy Pollak, Kevin Camden, Terri Walker, Erik Held and Greenspon.
Greenspon's term expires in 2027.
Besides Fischer and Mitha, the other candidates for the four four-year seats are Warren Ali, Andrew Catton, Mary Satchwell and Baron Leacock.
Waters is running unopposed for the two-year seat.
In Illinois, school board members are unpaid.

HINSDALE, IL – A top official in Hinsdale High School District 86 plans to leave after two years on the job, moving to another district.
It's a continuation of the turnover in District 86's administration.
Jason Markey, District 86's assistant superintendent for academics, is becoming the assistant superintendent for Lisle School District 202 in July.
Markey joined District 86 in July 2023 as assistant superintendent.
In his first few weeks, Markey served as acting superintendent after the district's ouster of Superintendent Tammy Prentiss. He was a fill-in as the district awaited the appointment of two interim superintendents.
In District 86, Markey has worked under a two-year contract for $200,000 a year. With his Lisle job, his salary is set at $204,000, a 2 percent hike from District 86.
Given District 86's history of administrator pay, Markey likely would have seen a similar increase had he stayed.
The Lisle district's enrollment is less than half District 86's.
Last year, Eric Martzolf, a Hinsdale South assistant principal, was appointed principal of Lisle High School.
Martzolf was part of a group of administrators who left the district last year. The exodus got to the point where administrators acknowledged it was a problem.
At a meeting Monday, the Lisle school board approved Markey's appointment. He is succeeding Linda Kotalik, who is retiring after 20 years with a salary of $212,000.
Markey has 24 years of experience in education, working in places such as East Leyden, Woodstock and Glenbrook North.
"I hold great respect for the exceptional reputation of Lisle School District, which has long been recognized for its unwavering commitment to academic excellence, comprehensive student programming, and strong community partnerships," Markey said in a Lisle news release. "I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to a district that embodies the values of excellence and collaboration."
In a statement to Patch, Markey said, "I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as the Assistant Superintendent for Academics in District 86. Working alongside talented students, dedicated staff, and supportive families has been an honor. While I look forward to the next chapter in my career at Lisle School District, my focus remains on supporting a smooth transition and finishing my tenure here with the same commitment to excellence that defines this community."

HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale High School District 86's top official on Thursday recognized the disparity in course offerings between Central and South high schools.
But he seemingly dismissed one of the potential solutions.
During a presentation at a school board meeting, Superintendent Michael Lach acknowledged that South, as the smaller school, naturally has a smaller selection of courses. That has been the case for years.
The district, he said, could offer additional lower enrollment courses at South as a way to equalize offerings. But he noted that would come at a cost.
One longtime solution suggested in the South zone has been to change the boundary between the two schools, equalizing enrollments.
However, such an idea is considered a no-go in the wealthier Central area, with residents near the boundary fearing their property values would plunge if the line shifted.
Lach, who took the helm in July, mentioned the possibility of a boundary change. But he just as quickly labeled such a move "challenging," without explaining.
He noted the district has spent the last five years promoting "curriculum equity," which means offering the same courses at both schools. The initiative was later rebranded as "curriculum alignment."
It has come with controversies over courses in math, science and social studies.
In his presentation, Lach said course opportunities at the two schools are not the same, but he said plenty of opportunities exist at both schools.
At the same time, Lach said other issues keep him up at night.
While he said the district should be proud of its standardized test scores, plenty of students are not college- or career-ready by graduation.
"That concerns me," Lach said. "To what degree should the focus be on improving postsecondary readiness for our students? Priorities matter. We can do anything, but we cannot do everything."
He said the district should figure out its priorities.
The board voted Thursday to form a special committee to look at the disparity in course offerings and ways to address it. Members Abed Rahman, Asma Akhras and Jeff Waters agreed to join.
