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 Summerville, 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.

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.

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.

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - A new resource connection center had its grand opening in Dorchester County.
Trident United Way opened a location in the Summerville area, hoping to get people back on their feet.
“From many of the families that we see, they’re working one sometimes multiple jobs. We want their children to be in a stable place so they can continue to remain in the same school, continue to learn and ultimately that our neighborhood can thrive by making sure every neighbor is financially secure knowing where their next meals are going to be and that they’re able to stay in their home,” Trident United Way President and CEO, DJ Hampton said.
Hampton says this resource center has taken time to open the doors for those in financial distress.
“So for those families who are working hard every day, struggling to make ends meet, it’s a place where they can come and get additional help and services,” Hampton said.
After looking at their database, Hampton said there’s about 40% of the community that are above the poverty line yet struggle significantly financially.
“There’s a large cross-section in our community that’s on the brink of financial disaster so all of those citizens have a resource center right here,” Summerville Mayor, Russ Touchberry said.
Touchberry explained that though he did not play as big of a role as others, he has referenced many to the organization and is hopeful for what this may bring.
“I’ve connected folks to the 211 program and connected them directly to them and they always get taken care of. It always makes folks feel special,” he said.
Trident United Way partnered with about a dozen non-profits to help provide opportunities for Summerville families.
While choosing which partners, Hampton says they had to consider their data to also cater to the needs of the community.
“We know health care can be a real challenge for people to access here, so we’ve partnered with mobile clinics from MUSC and roper to come and actually provide medical for those families while they’re already here,” Hampton said.
The center has office spaces for seminars or meetings, computers, school supplies and food.
“Then we help them get it in one stop. So instead of spending weeks going to multiple places, they’re able to get it one place. Which ultimately means they’re most likely to get services and they’re more likely to get the help they need to stay stable,” Hampton said.
Hampton also explained they can help with taxes.
He said every year, they complete about 1,200 to 1,300 tax returns for families, so any family that makes less than 73,000 dollars a year are eligible for the opportunity to have their taxes done for them.
“I hope when people get in there, they feel comfortable. They feel empowered and supported, and then from that they can be successful in our community,” Touchberry said.
The hours for the new location are Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
They will then accept appointments on Friday.

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — A Summerville man became the first person in South Carolina to undergo potentially life-changing gene therapy.
The treatment took place Thursday morning at Prisma Health’s Hemophilia Treatment Center in Columbia.
Thirty-eight-year-old Brent Maloy was diagnosed with the rare bleeding disorder Hemophilia B as a baby — a condition that’s negatively affected him his entire life.
“It’s been just a constant thing I had to deal with,” he says.
The genetic condition means Brent is missing crucial proteins that helps the blood to clot, (sometimes referred to as Factor Nine proteins) causing normal activities to become potentially dangerous.
Dr. Stephanie Ambrose says for most patients that means constantly hooking themselves up to an IV at home.
“They typically are having to infuse themselves sometimes all the way up to several times a week to several times a month. And they are prone to having significant issues with bleeding, joint bleeds, muscle bleeds, nose bleeds, things of that nature,” she says.
But those at-home intravenous treatments may soon end for Brent. He’s being given a medicine that’s only been on the market for two years now, known as Hemgenix.
Total cost of Hemgenix before insurance is $3.5 million.
If successful, Dr. Ambrose and Nurse Robin Jones say the “one and done” treatment will raise the needed Factor Nine proteins in Brent’s liver, allowing his blood to clot naturally throughout his body.
The best part? The effects may last for the rest of Brent’s life.
“As for changing my life, if everything works well, it means I can finally live my life like a normal person and not have to take any more injections, unless I have to get vaccines!” he jokes.
Dr. Ambrose says those at-home IV treatments add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, making the hefty price tag of Hemgenix cheaper over a lifetime.
For the next few years, Brent will be closely monitored to determine how successful the treatment is.
“So our hope for this therapy is if we can get his Factor Nine levels to a more sustainable level, to where he’s not having to give himself IV medications, then day to day life will look much better. He’ll be much better protected against bleeding episodes, and for many patients their quality of life will improve because they can be much more active than they’ve been in the past,” says Dr. Ambrose.
Prisma Health’s Hemophilia Treatment Center is the only center in the state that is currently federally approved to offer Hemgenix.

The best internet service provider in Summerville, South Carolina, is AT&T Fiber. The area’s largest fiber internet provider, AT&T, offers a wide selection of competitively priced plans, including the fastest in Summerville, with speeds up to 5,000 megabits per second. Service includes free equipment rental, unlimited data and no contract requirements, perks that aren’t all available from other wired ISPs in Summerville.
If AT&T Fiber is unavailable, or you’re looking for a cheaper internet service, you might consider several cable ISPs. Spectrum, WideOpenWest (WOW) and Xfinity are all available to some extent in Summerville, and each is worth considering. Spectrum offers the broadest coverage, whereas Xfinity and WOW offer the most economical starting prices for internet service in Summerville, beginning at $20 per month for speeds of up to 75Mbps and 100Mbps, respectively.
For an alternative to traditional fiber and cable connections, consider fixed wireless internet from Verizon 5G Home Internet or T-Mobile Home Internet. The latter has slightly better coverage in Summerville, but Verizon 5G Home Internet has potentially faster speeds and two plans. Both are decent options and both currently offer mobile bundle discounts.

The best internet deals and the top promotions in Summerville depend on discounts available during a given period. Most deals are short-lived, but we look frequently for the latest offers.
Summerville internet providers, such as Xfinity, may offer lower introductory pricing or streaming add-ons for a limited time. Many providers, including AT&T Fiber, Spectrum and WOW, run the same standard pricing year-round.

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you're looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you'll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here's an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.
For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.
Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. What’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.
It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of the time of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When it comes to selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees, and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and take into account real-world speed data from sources like Ookla (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis) and FCC reports.

What is the best internet service provider in Summerville, South Carolina?
AT&T Fiber’s local fiber coverage, plan variety and straightforward pricing help make it the best internet provider in Summerville. The ISP has a record of high customer satisfaction ratings from the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Additionally, J.D. Power scored AT&T Fiber among the top ISPs in the South region in 2023, second only to Google Fiber.
Is fiber internet available in Summerville?
Fiber internet is available to roughly 43% of Summerville households, according to the FCC. Serviceability is greatest around the Salisbury Acres, Chandler Lakes and White Gables communities, although fiber service can be found in random neighborhoods throughout Summerville. AT&T Fiber is the largest fiber internet provider in Summerville.
Who is the cheapest internet provider in Summerville?
WideOpenWest and Xfinity share the lowest starting price for internet in Summerville at $20 per month, but WOW offers a slightly higher maximum speed at 100Mbps compared to 75Mbps from Xfinity. Additionally, WOW has a cheaper equipment rental fee ($10 versus $15, but equipment rental is optional with both ISPs) and a higher data cap than Xfinity. While both providers have a decent selection of cheap internet plans, WOW is the better choice for cheap internet in Summerville.
