On average, the typical American creates more than four pounds of waste every day. That figure doesn't include the items in your home that need to be hauled away but remain for whatever reason. The reality is most South Carolina residents have tons of junk lying around that they don't need.

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 Palm Beach, FL, 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.

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.

La Nin?a has flirted and retreated, teased and taunted, hemmed and hawed, but scientists still believe the global climate pattern will emerge in the waning weeks of 2024 bringing a warmer and drier winter to South Florida.
A seasonal forecast released by the National Weather Service and South Florida Water Management District on Nov. 18, said there is a 57% chance La Nin?a will develop and persist through March 2025.
Traditionally, La Nin?a means extended dry periods for South Florida during the darkest days of the year, a higher threat of drought and wildfires, and temperatures that are 1 to 3 degrees above normal. Rainfall is typically 10% to 30% below normal during La Nin?a winters.
“Forecast models are all pointing to warmer than normal temperatures extending to April,” said Robert Molleda, the meteorologist in charge at the Miami office of the NWS. “Each of the previous eight La Nin?a winters have led to moderate to severe drought by spring over at least parts of South Florida.”
But this La Nin?a has been hinting at a debut since February when the Climate Prediction Center, an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued a La Nin?a watch. The forecast at the time gave the atmosphere-altering phenomenon a 55% chance of waking during early summer, and a 74% chance of developing through October.
It was a no-show.
“Not every event is as easy to predict,” Molleda said. "We've gotten used to some fairly easy and well defined events and we've had several of those in the last five to 10 years but many times in the past, the signals have not been as well defined."
The climate patterns El Nin?o and La Nin?a are part of the powerful El Nin?o-Southern Oscillation, or ENSO.
La Nin?a happens when waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean cool, shifting when and where tropical thunderstorms form so that the wind shear in the Atlantic Ocean wanes during hurricane season allowing budding tropical cyclones more leeway to grow.
In winter, La Nin?a pulses storms into the Pacific Northwest on a more northerly and inland track, holding the jet stream at higher latitudes longer where it traps cold air to its north.
During El Nin?o, equatorial waters warm. In summer, El Nin?o creates wind shear that chops up Atlantic tropical cyclones. In winter, El Nin?o nudges the jet stream south traditionally giving Florida cooler, wetter winters.

But there's no guarantee either climate pattern will behave as predicted.
Water temperatures in the Pacific did cool this past summer, but not as much as scientists expected and not to the 0.9 degrees below the long term average that is needed for a La Nin?a event to really stir up trouble in the tropics.
That doesn’t mean it wasn’t an active hurricane season, which ends Nov. 30.
Through Nov. 19, there were 18 named storms, which is four more than during an average year. Those included 11 hurricanes and five major hurricanes. Most notably, three hurricanes — Category 1 Debby, Category 4 Helene and Category 3 Milton — made devastating landfalls on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
“At the end of the day, it didn’t matter if La Nin?a was here for the tropical season,” DaSilva said. “It didn’t have a significant impact.”
And it may not have a significant impact this winter either. Because La Nin?a has been so tardy, it won’t have much time to strengthen, said Emily Becker, associate director of the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies.
Becker writes a blog for NOAA about the El Nin?o Southern Oscillation. She said only two La Nin?a events in the 75-year historical record have formed in the October to December time frame.
A weak La Nin?a means other weather patterns can usurp its dominance, stirring up raucous thunderstorms despite the overall lower chances for severe weather.
The most recent La Nin?a event featured a strong EF-2 tornado that struck Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach in April 2023. That was preceded by the historic flooding in Fort Lauderdale where more than 25 inches of rain shut down the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and left neighborhoods underwater for days.
During the 2016-2017 La Nin?a, three tornadoes hit southeast Florida including one that buzzed through Palm Beach Gardens and Juno Beach with peak winds of about 90 mph.
“The only thing we can say for certain is that nature is going to keep us guessing,” Becker said in her blog about La Nin?a. “We’ve been saying it for months, and we are saying it again: Forecasters still think La Nin?a will develop and last through the winter.”

Friends and family are remembering Deputy Sheriff Ralph "Butch" Waller and Corporal Luis Paez, who lost their lives in Thursday's accident on Southern Boulevard.
Deputy Ignacio "Dan" Diaz is now fighting for his life in the hospital.
A group of Corporal Paez’s photography friends from all over the nation gathered with WPTV's Zitlali Solache in a Zoom call.
While they are torn about the news, they want people to know how special he truly was to them.
“I’m still shock. I am devastated," stated Virginia Carrocio, a friend of Paez. "I’m still processing the information.”
Corporal Paez’s friends say he was also a devoted photographer. They are coming to terms with the tragedy.
“We are in disbelief on what happened," stated friend Kalina Schneider. "Nobody wants to get this phone call that your close friend, close family friend, just passed, and the way he passed.”
But despite the pain, the group of friends wanted to honor him and joined a Zoom call from different cities across the nation.
“This is a pretty big loss for us. I can’t image the families and law enforcement he worked with," shared friend Matt Lima. "That guy was really special.”
During the Zoom call, the group remembered memories they shared with Paez.
“He’s a great guy. We got along so well. So many mutual interests. It was very easy to room with him," shared friend Scott Detweiler. “He lives in Florida and so I would bring him constant cheese, that was the tradition. A pack of a bunch a cheese curds and take it down there."
They say Paez had radiant energy, that was infectious.
"He was always a light in our lives and always fun to be around," stated friend Rich Logan. "It is so difficult to process.”
They say he was 100 days away from retirement and wanted to devote his time to photography.
“Knowing he was so close to retirement absolutely breaks my heart," stated Shanell Bledsoe. "And he was so looking forward to it.”
Deputy Waller’s loved ones respectfully asked for their space during this time, but want him to be kindly remembered.
We also reached out to Deputy Ignacio "Dan" Diaz’s family but have not heard back.
Many will continue to remember the lives of their loved ones.
“He was a deputy, but he was much more than that," stated Carrocio. "He will be surely missed.”

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. —
Year over year, home sales during a recent four-week period fell faster in five Florida markets than any other across the nation, according to Redfin.
A recent report from the technology real estate company Redfin suggests home sales are down 15.2% in Fort Lauderdale, 14% in Miami, 13.8% in West Palm Beach, 9.5% in Jacksonville and 7.2% in Tampa.
This is for a four-week period ending Nov. 10.
Laurie Stark has been a mortgage broker in Florida for more than two decades.
“The market is going up, interest rates are going up, and then no one is able to buy," Stark said. "These properties are just going to be sitting there because we don’t have anyone who is able qualify purchase one of these homes.”
The Redfin report cites recent hurricanes, increasing homeowner association fees and the ongoing homeowners insurance crisis as causes for the dip in sales.
Previous coverage: How did Florida get into the homeowners insurance crisisStark said another problem is the influx of investors buying up Florida property and the price of property.
“When I started in 1999, I was doing mortgages at 10% and 11%, but the sales prices for the houses back then were $120,000 or $130,000," she said. "You can’t do 8% on an $600,000 house.”
Stark said she is hopeful 2025 will be a better year for Floridians who hope to achieve homeownership and believes the market will stabilize when interest rates lower close to 6%.
