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.

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.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - The Myrtle Beach Fire Department is getting ready to train the next batch of first responders through its new Junior Firefighter Program.
The program is for high school students ages 16 to 18 interested in the fire service and will teach them what the career is all about.
They will get hands-on experience with the fire department which includes training at the academy, going on ride-alongs and helping with community education events.
Captain Jon Evans with the Myrtle Beach Fire Department said even students interested in other areas like the Water Rescue Team or EMS side of the career can take something home from the program.
Evans said the Junior Fire Fighter Program is a great opportunity for students to figure out if the fire service is a career they would like to get into.
“Folks like myself who came out of high school and kinda went the college route but wasn’t for me. This may have been a program that could’ve serviced me when I was in high school and I could’ve gotten started a little earlier than I did,” said Evans.
The new program not only aims to give students hands-on experience but is also a way to get more Grand Strand natives to call the fire station home.
Evans said the fire department gets job applications from people all over the country but only a few from people here in the Grand Strand.
This program also hopes to fill the hole of a similar junior firefighter program offered at Horry County’s Academy for Technology and Academics but is no longer running.
Evans said he can’t wait to train up the next batch of passionate students.
“I had one kid who ran across the cafeteria. She was so excited to see me there because she wanted to start the program. She wanted to go to the ATA program and it just wasn’t there anymore and she was so excited to see us there. So to foster that fire as it was, that’s what I’m most excited for,” said Evans.
Evans said they hope the students will want to later join the department helping to keep you safe here in Myrtle Beach.
So far, Evans said 18 students have signed up for the new program and there’s only room for a few more.
The deadline to sign up is Friday, January 6.

For the nine years Richard Shaffer has lived in Market Common, he’s enjoyed watching eagles flit across treetops behind his home.
So has neighbor Bonnie Fahey — the birds of prey cutting across the sky a gentle reminder that parts of Myrtle Beach’s lavish planned community built atop an old Air Force base is a development.
Shaffer and Fahey live in The Reserve, a high-end enclave of 100 homes between $280,000 and $500,000 less than a mile from the Myrtle Beach International Airport and Coastal Grand Mall.
But change is coming quickly to still raw land that abuts anchor stores including Barnes & Noble — up to 206 homes with a clubhouse and swimming pool, according to a concept called MarketWalk made public at a Jan. 3 city planning commission meeting.
The privately run development would blend 94 townhomes with 107 cottage-style properties all running on leases with terms of at least 12 months.
MarketWalk carves out 440 more parking spots as well near at the intersection of Farrow Parkway and Phillis Boulevard. City planners said they want more information on how that much more year-round activity will affect traffic flow and access for public safety crews.
“It’s going to be developed one way or the other, so for me it’s important we come up for the best use of the site,” commissioner Aaron Guyton said.
In 2017, the Market Common master plan was amended to allow the construction of a five-story, 100-room hotel and more homes at the corner of Farrow Parkway and Phillis Boulevard.
While the hotel concept never took off, residents at the time worried about environmental impacts, increased congestion and public safety constraints that would come with more construction — and those complaints surfaced again this week.
“This has the potential to end up being a disaster to the people that move in here, so I would encourage you to look at other alternatives,” resident Bill McClure said.
Walter Warren, a principal at Thomas & Hutton Engineering, said the homes would be occupied through annual lease agreements with competitive price points.
“It is a very in-demand housing type for working class: Educators, first responders,” Warren said as examples of the project’s target demographic.
The City Council will have the final say over any major changes to Market Common’s footprint. Still, the planning board that serves as its advisory panel said a lot more information is needed before it can make a recommendation.
MarketWalk’s boundaries are close to the site of a large data center being built by DC BLOX.
Officials asked engineering firm Thomas & Hutton for traffic studies, potential environmental impacts and possible road adjustments which could be brought to them next month.
“It shouldn’t be painful to live in your neighborhood,” commission chairman Joyce Karetas said. “I think you heard from people in slightly different neighborhoods, and that is representative of the people who are going to live with the consequences, so we need as many answers as we can get.”
The MarketWalk project isn’t the only new housing planned for Market Common.
Last month, the city’s community appearance board delayed approval for 26 apartments split across four barracks-style buildings at the intersection of Meyers Avenue and Pampas Drive.
At 600 square feet each, those units would help fill the city’s need for more affordable housing.
The MarketWalk venture wouldn’t include subsidized living — a key factor for some commissioners.
“A year (lease agreement) definitely helps construct a stronger neighborhood than in and out,” Karetas said.
Duke Energy Corp. executives on Tuesday blamed a convergence of widespread extreme cold, higher than projected demand, malfunctioning plant equipment and the inability to buy power elsewhere for rolling blackouts on Christmas Eve — the first for the company in the Carolinas.Addressing state electric regulators, company leaders apologized because about 500,000 customers, or 11%, of its Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress subsidiary customers — were subjected to the designed temporary outages, often with little no...
Duke Energy Corp. executives on Tuesday blamed a convergence of widespread extreme cold, higher than projected demand, malfunctioning plant equipment and the inability to buy power elsewhere for rolling blackouts on Christmas Eve — the first for the company in the Carolinas.
Addressing state electric regulators, company leaders apologized because about 500,000 customers, or 11%, of its Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress subsidiary customers — were subjected to the designed temporary outages, often with little notice. While power was restored to everyone before the sun went down Dec. 24, morning temperatures fell into the single digits and afternoon highs failed to reach freezing in many areas.
“I want to express how sorry we are for what our customers experienced,” Duke Energy Carolinas CEO Julie Janson told the North Carolina Utilities Commission at a briefing. “We own what happened. We have set out on a path to ensure that if we’re faced with similar challenges, we will see a different outcome and provide a better customer experience."
The outages came a day after 300,000 customers lost power amid plummeting temperatures and high winds that knocked down lines as a monster winter storm approached the East Coast. Restoration was nearly complete by that evening. At that time, the two subsidiaries for the Charlotte-based utility still projected having enough energy production reserves to meet peak demand the next morning, said Sam Holeman, a transmission system vice president.
But power generation at three North Carolina plants — coal-fired Mayo and Roxboro and natural gas-powered Dan River — were essentially cut in half early Dec. 24 when insulated instrumentation lines froze, Duke executives said. Meanwhile, already contracted purchases of electric power on a regional transmission system didn't happen because neighboring utilities had no supplies to share.
Faced with the threat of uncontrolled demand outpacing supplies and leading to widespread outages within the Eastern U.S., Holeman said the two subsidiaries began “load-shedding” events — rolling outages — beginning shortly after 6 a.m.
"We will strive to lower the probability that this type of event happens again, but if we have similar conditions in similar operating environments in the future, our operators will take the same actions” he said.
The rolling outages are supposed to be automated and last only 15 to 30 minutes. But the automation tools didn't work as anticipated, according to a presentation, forcing the utility's distribution control center to shut down hundreds of circuits manually. All of the circuits were restored by around 4 p.m.
Duke executives said communicating this event to customers fell short, especially as it became clear that rolling outages would extend beyond 30 or even 60 minutes.
“We’re committed to developing a much better understanding of these events and what we can do to avoid rolling service disruptions and improve communications in the future,” Duke Energy State President Kendal Bowman said.
The seven-member commission, nominated by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, asked many questions and sought more information but largely avoided blame for what happened. Cooper tweeted last week that he was “deeply concerned” about people who didn't get notice about the rolling outages and asked Duke “for a complete report on what went wrong and for changes to be made.” The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is also looking into what happened.
State utilities Commissioner Floyd McKissick said Duke's customer notification system needs to be upgraded as soon as possible so people who could be harmed by the loss of power — such as the elderly or those with medical needs — can be prepared.
“The only thing customers want to know is that power is there when it’s needed,” he said.
McKissick also cited the utility's power demand modeling, which Duke executives acknowledged was based on data from past weather events that didn't account for the unique confluence of circumstances last month. They included what Holeman called the lowest December temperatures since the 1980s, low dew temperatures and wind chills, all during a holiday weekend.
The briefing came just four days after the commission issued a separate order detailing actions that Duke Energy must or should take to meet a new legislative mandate to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 70% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels.
The rolling outages happened as a massive freeze in the eastern U.S. caused outages and led the regional transmission operation of which North Carolina is a member to urge states to conserve electricity through Christmas morning. The Tennessee Valley Authority also directed local power companies to implement planned interruptions.

A new Myrtle Beach oceanfront hotel resort from Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated will be completed in 2024.
The company purchased 16 acres of undeveloped property across from Holiday Inn Club Vacations South Beach Resort.
The oceanfront hotel will be located on the Owners Club Court near Damon’s Restaurant and Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark.
“We’ve experienced first-hand how much families love Myrtle Beach, as our South Beach Resort has been one of the most popular properties in the network for more than 10 years. Our team’s familiarity with the destination, coupled with the creative freedom of building from the ground up, means we have a great opportunity to create a truly unique resort,” said Tom Nelson, Chief Executive Officer at Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated, in a news release. “This year marks the 40th anniversary of our Company. When I reflect on our history and growth over the last 40 years, I can’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate this milestone than by expanding our network, once again, to bring more memorable vacation experiences to our owners and guests.”
According to a news release, once the first phase of development is complete, the new resort will feature 152 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom villas, ranging in size from 746 to nearly 1,900 square feet. All villas will include patios and offer ocean views. A portion of the villas will be designated for Signature Collection, the Company’s luxury product.
The Myrtle Beach resort will be located just minutes walking distance from Myrtle Beach’s Market Common.
Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune told local news just this past week, “We have to have a great downtown. That’s vital for the future of this community. To bring younger people in, to bring business, and to bring the right people that we want to live, work and invest here.”
While the city’s main focus will be on the downtown areas of 7th and 8th Avenue North, the South Beach end welcomes a new property to what many have called a dated city area.
While the City of Myrtle Beach expects the road changes downtown to take from 2 to 3 years, private companies are already beginning to buy into the Southend. The SandCastle Resort on 22nd was recently purchased by a California based company promising major upgrades to that property.
The Family Kingdom located in this area was also purchased last year by a highly reputable local attractions concern.
A very dated Sea Mist Resort is also on the market for sale for $55 million. The Sea Mist is one of the largest resorts in the area, as far as land mass is concerned.
