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 Myrtle Beach, 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.

Even in colder weather, when humans are less inclined to take a trip to the beach, marine animals in the area continue to wash ashore.“Winter is generally a quieter season here in South Carolina — in most places — but I think a lot of people would be surprised at how active wildlife remains,” said South Carolina Department of Natural Resources spokesperson Erin Weeks. “So there is actually a decent l...
If you spend enough time on South Carolina beaches, you might encounter a sea creature stuck on the shore. Even in colder weather, when humans are less inclined to take a trip to the beach, marine animals in the area continue to wash ashore.
“Winter is generally a quieter season here in South Carolina — in most places — but I think a lot of people would be surprised at how active wildlife remains,” said South Carolina Department of Natural Resources spokesperson Erin Weeks. “So there is actually a decent likelihood that you’ll see things stranded ashore during the winter.”
If you want to lend a hand to local wildlife, here’s what you should know about when–and how–to help South Carolina’s aquatic animals.
Smaller animals
Unlike larger animals, smaller species like jellyfish, starfish, seahorses and sand dollars have little control over where the ocean takes them.
“They’re not very strong swimmers, so they’re pretty much at the mercy of the ocean currents and winds,” said Weeks. “And so anytime we have storms offshore or strong onshore winds, they can get pushed ashore.”
According to Weeks, it’s generally a good idea to stay away from jellyfish and Portuguese men-of-war. Both lion’s mane jellyfish, which are more commonly found in South Carolina during the colder months, and men-of-war are venomous species that can sting even after the animal is dead.
When it’s safe to help
Cannonball jellyfish are spotted more frequently in warmer months. Unlike lion’s mane and men-of-war, the small, round species is “pretty harmless to humans,” Weeks said.
For other small species you can identify as safe for humans, there’s no reason not to return the animal to the ocean.
“If you see a sea star or a seahorse or something like that washed ashore and you want to throw it back into the water, chances are that it’s been ashore for a while already, and it may not be alive anymore, but there’s no harm in throwing it back,” Weeks said.
Larger animals
Sea turtles are among the species you’re more likely to encounter in the winter. While sea turtles are present in South Carolina waters all year, according to Weeks, rapid water temperature changes can cold-stun the animals.
“They essentially go into a sea turtle version of hypothermia, and they will get washed ashore because they can no longer swim,” Weeks said.
Marine mammals, like dolphins, whales and even manatees, can also get stranded on South Carolina shores.
When to call SCDNR
For both marine mammals and sea turtles, the best way to help a stranded animal is to give the animal space and contact SCDNR’s hotline at 1-800-955-5431 to report the stranding.
In these situations, SCDNR dispatches a member of its stranding network team to help the stunned, sick, injured or trapped animal.
It’s also a good idea to call the hotline if you encounter a stranded shark, but the SCDNR response may be different. Because the department typically only dispatches a response if the stranded animal is federally protected or a threat to public safety, SCDNR might not send someone to respond to a shark.
However, the hotline operator will still be able to advise on a shark stranding.
“If it is not one of those two, then you can certainly call the hotline, and they can probably provide you guidance as to what to do, or put you in touch with an officer who can guide you,” Weeks said. “I would not recommend handling a shark unless you are a skilled fisherman with a lot of experience doing it.”

Home to 60 miles of shore, the Grand Strand offers stunning ocean views. Because it’s part of the Atlantic Coastline, the Myrtle Beach area is especially beautiful at dawn when the sun can be seen rising above the horizon.
Although the summer tourist season has passed, Myrtle Beach sunrises are still gorgeous in the fall and winter. If you want to watch the sun come up in the Grand Strand, here’s what you should know.
It’s a good idea to search online or check your weather app for the exact time the sun will rise for the day you’ll be out. If you want to make sure you catch the first rays of sunlight on the water, plan to get to your destination about 30 minutes before the official sunrise time.
For the rest of the year and in January and February next year, sunrises are expected from around 6:40 a.m. to roughly 7:20 a.m., according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

There are no shortage of places to watch the sunrise along the Grand Strand. Here are some of the best, depending on what kind of experience you want.
Beaches
While any public access beach will offer an Atlantic view, some have better vantage points to see the sunrise because of the coast’s crescent shape.
On the north end of the Grand Strand, watch the sun rise over the sand at The Point at Cherry Grove. The sandy peninsula features the ocean on one side and Hog Inlet on the other, so you can check out the dawn surrounded by water.
On the south end, eastern-facing beaches around Pawleys Island offer a view of the sun rising directly on the water.
Landmarks
The Grand Strand also has plenty of piers to visit, if you prefer watching the sunrise out in the water.
Apache Pier, Myrtle Beach State Park pier, Springmaid Pier and Surfside Beach Fishing Pier open everyday at 6:00 a.m., while 2nd Avenue Pier and the Pier at Garden City open a little later at 7:00 a.m.
If you want to stay off the sand, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade is a good option in the downtown area. While the shops and restaurants won’t be open at dawn, the area also offers photo opportunities and a small park.
South of Myrtle Beach, the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet opens at 5:30 in the morning. Well before the restaurants and bars open, you can watch the sunrise on the marsh.
Restaurants
If you’re peckish first thing in the morning, you can also check out the sunrise at one of the oceanfront restaurants around the Myrtle Beach area open early for breakfast.

In May, many Myrtle Beach area businesses put up signs saying “Welcome bikers!”, inviting motorcyclists into their restaurants and stores during the popular spring bike rallies.
In September and October, the signs switched, welcoming Mustangs during Mustang Week and Jeeps for Jeep Jam, which brought hundreds of people and vehicles to the Myrtle Beach area.
The Myrtle Beach area hosts a wide range of car events throughout the year, including three motorcycle rallies, a massive car show and various weeks dedicated to classic cars. This has been going on since the 1940s when the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally started and has only grown over the past 80 years.
Along with the large vehicle events that draw in thousands, Myrtle Beach has many car clubs. There are clubs dedicated to classic cars, British cars, Mustangs, Jeeps and Corvettes, to name a few.
What is it about Myrtle Beach that attracts car lovers?
Run to the Sun organizer Michael Leaventon said the classic car show originally started about an hour away in Florence. But as the show expanded, organizers brought it to Myrtle Beach to better accommodate the event.
“It grew so much that in about the eighth or ninth year, they had to move it to Myrtle Beach, because a lot of people are coming from out of town, and there’s a lot of hotels and stuff in Myrtle Beach,” Leaventon said. “The reason we stay in Myrtle Beach is just it’s a great location to have a car show.”
The Myrtle Beach area has over 157,000 accommodation units, according to the Myrtle Beach Visitor’s Bureau. This includes hotel rooms, rental houses, RV parks and bed and breakfasts. The wide range of places to stay offers lodging at various price ranges, making it more accessible to vacation at any cost.
Outside of hotels, Myrtle Beach provides activity outside of the vehicle show events. There are thousands of restaurants and various shopping centers to explore. And, of course, there’s the beach.
“When you’re not out riding or driving or at (an) event, you can always go to the beach,” said Lee “Spider” Webb, the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally marketing coordinator.
Along with what’s been built here, Myrtle Beach’s location along the East Coast works in its favor.
Jeep Jam founder Steve Taylor said he decided to start a Jeep Jam in the city because there wasn’t one nearby. As an avid Jeep fan, he’d seen Jeep events in other places like Pigeon Forge, Tennessee or Daytona, Florida. Hosting a Jeep Jam in Myrtle Beach brought in people from the Carolinas and Virginia that may find other events too far.
Myrtle Beach offers good roads to ride along, Webb said. If people head outside the Myrtle Beach area, there are nice country roads and motorcyclists can drive to Charleston, Georgetown and Wilmington, North Carolina, easily.
“When you come to a rally, (the) No. 1 thing you want to do is to ride a motorcycle,” Webb said. “Myrtle Beach has great options.”
One reason Leaventon said there are so many car events is because there are a lot of car lovers in the Carolinas. That can be partly attributed to the number of retirees headed to the Grand Strand, said Carol Hadley, the lead director of the Myrtle Beach Car Club.
“(The Myrtle Beach area) is now becoming one of the largest areas for retirees. So a lot of the people that are coming down here, they have cars or trucks or motorcycles that they’re into. It’s their passion,” Hadley said.
The weather is one big reason car lovers end up here, Hadley said. South Carolina’s mild weather allows people to cruise year-round instead of locking their classic car in the garage through the winter.
Leaventon said Run to the Sun targets people in their 70s with disposable income, which is a sizable demographic in Myrtle Beach.
More than just retirees love cars. Taylor said around 25% of the Jeeps registered for Jeep Jam 2024 came from the Myrtle Beach area. In total, there were around 500 locals who brought their cars to the event.
The rallies and events bring together people who love cars, giving them space to socialize and celebrate different vehicles.
“Overall, it’s a great community. Not only just the location and the people, but the car clubs are very welcoming of each other,” Leaventon said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie in the car community, not only in Myrtle Beach, but in the whole hobby.”

The latest round of restaurant inspections by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture found bugs, mold in the ice machine, out-of-date food and more.
In general, SCDA gives restaurants scoring between 88 and 100 points A grades, restaurants scoring 78-87 points B grades and restaurants scoring 77 points or fewer C grades. However, the department sometimes lowers grades for restaurants that have consecutive violations, are under enforcement action or are under pending enforcement actions, including imminent health hazards, permit suspensions or permit revocations.
Of the 147 restaurant inspections conducted in Horry and Georgetown County between Nov. 9 and Nov. 15, SCDA gave six restaurants B grades and two restaurants C grades. However, only four restaurants actually scored below 88 points. Here’s what inspectors found.

Other violations included dirty utensils and food equipment stored as clean, meat stored in contact with non-food-grade plastic, food stored on the floor in multiple locations and cups without handles used to scoop food.
The inspection report also noted cobwebs throughout the kitchen, dirty cooking equipment and shelving and buildup on the floors and window sills. A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Nov. 22.

A routine inspection of 810 Conway on Nov. 13 observed mold and mildew in the ice machine, foods like marina sauce, ham and turkey past their discard dates, foods like chicken tenders, spinach artichoke dip and egg rolls stored without discard dates and drain flies around both bars.
The inspection also notes that cups without handles were used to scoop food, the walk-in freezer couldn’t close and seal due to ice buildup, there was a bug light behind the oven, the bar drain had slimy standing water and debris and there were accumulations of buildup and splatter inside coolers, in the kitchen sink on floors and under equipment.
Though a follow-up report hasn’t been posted on the SCDA inspection website, the inspector’s comments note an additional inspection was to be performed on or before Nov. 22.
Four Seasons Restaurant in Ocean Creek Resort
10600 N. Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572
Score: 81
A Nov. 15 routine inspection of Four Seasons Restaurant found several violations, including dead bugs under shelving, sausage and cheese were stored at temperatures that weren’t sufficiently cold, French toast batter was left out at room temperature and ready-to-eat foods like sausage and ham were held for over 24 without dates marked for safe consumption.
The inspector also observed an employee handling bread with bare hands, fryer oil wasn’t covered when it wasn’t in use, a cooler that wasn’t cold enough and accumulations of grease, grime and splash on walls and in the walk-in refrigerator. A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Nov. 25.
1610-B Church St., Conway 29526
Score: 82
At a Nov. 12 routine inspection of Don’s Deli, slicers were dirty with debris and food residue, cheesecake was stored at temperatures that weren’t cold enough and deli meats weren’t marked with dates to ensure safe consumption.
