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 Wellington, 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. 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. We can help with just about any general labor services you need, from removing old office furniture to transporting new equipment to your job site.

It felt like home when interior designer Ellen Kavanaugh first set eyes on this run-of-the-mill ranch in Wellington, Florida. She and husband Chip Valle of Island Construction are always on the hunt for fixer-uppers and found the ideal project in the even proportions and bungalow-style architecture of this house that's just under 2,500 square feet. But it was more than good bones that hooked Kavanaugh. The Old Florida charmer was remarkably similar to her childhood home, lending an instant air of nostalgia to the restoration the couple was about to begin.
They were under no illusions: Compromises would have to be made to work within the original footprint. But with a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Simply White (OC-117), which Kavanaugh deems "the perfect shade of white," on nearly every wall, the place was primed for her signature take on color. From there, she injected statement-making hues and meaningful design elements to create a space that's cheery, comfortable, and filled with memories. "There's no particular style. It's family heirlooms, the combination of the old and new," she says. "I wanted the house to feel warm and just kept coming back to holding onto this traditional look—and I'm glad I did."
The exterior, painted in Benjamin Moore Sheer Pink (894, cut 50%), was given a toned-down twist when Kavanaugh finished the shutters in a black-green powder coat.
Kavanaugh was eager to do away with the popcorn ceilings found throughout the house, but the entry needed something special. She defined the space with a clear cypress ceiling with a limewash finish, a gift from her father who owns Florida Cypress Wood Products.
"We were thinking about opening up all the walls and realized we kind of liked the separate living room," says Kavanaugh. They kept the walls intact and let the playful sofa (upholstered in Michael Szell for Christopher Farr Cloth Peonies in Hot Pink) and Paul T. Frankl rattan chairs do the heavy lifting. "I wanted the area to just seem collected with no specific style," she says. Feeling nostalgic for a time when gathering for dinner was a daily occasion and cocktail hour was a given, they decided to keep the space electronics free. "When we're in the living room, we're going to have a conversation and focus on each other," says Kavanaugh.
The dining room, which opens into the living room, needed to play off the pink tones of the sitting area. They added ceiling beams for architectural interest and scoured eBay for antique chairs that they painted chalk white for what she calls "a cheap and cheerful dining-chair solution." But if you ask Kavanaugh, the real star of the space might be the silver candelabra from their wedding. "I use that even if we're just having a casual dinner," she says.
Working within the kitchen's small space required a total reimagining. They chose a Sub-Zero refrigerator column and skipped the freezer but went for the 48-inch Wolf range (no need for a vent hood thanks to an adjacent wall of sliding doors). The mix of flat-front and Shaker-style panel drawers and doors keeps the room classic and clean while two sets of open mahogany shelves deliver custom furniture-like details above.
With Wellington's average highs hovering in the upper 70s through the winter, taking advantage of the mild weather with a wall of sliding doors leading to the pool and patio was a simple choice. During the warmer months, they crank up the exterior ceiling fans and continue soaking up the sun and fresh air. "It just provides a casual ease of living," says Kavanaugh.
What was once a dark and dated family room was refreshed with a coat of paint (Simply White on the walls and stone fireplace and Super White, PM-1, on the ceiling, both by Benjamin Moore). The space's blank canvas allows Kavanaugh to swap out accessories on a whim, including the dark blue rug that's optimal for hiding muddy paw prints left behind by the couple's two dogs, Sunny Bear and Trooper. "It's good to be practical; that way, you can just live in your home and not have to worry about it," she advises.
Kavanaugh was set on turning the laundry room into a mudroom but knew it would come with a few concessions. "When you're renovating, you're not creating a new house," she explains. "You have to be able to compromise." Once the appliances were relocated to the garage, she doused the space in a bold and easy-to-clean satin paint (Benjamin Moore Garden Cucumber, 644) and floral wallpaper (Rebecca Atwood Blooms in Soft Green) with a vintage-inspired hexagon tile underfoot. The new space acts as a hybrid, featuring everything from a morning coffee bar to a pullout drawer for dog food and a sink for arranging flowers.
"I'll admit it: I've always wanted a canopy bed," says Kavanaugh. To her relief, Valle was on board. She kept the walls the same Simply White found throughout the rest of the house but painted the ceiling a pale blue—Benjamin Moore Breath of Fresh Air (806, cut 75%).
Antique mirrors from Kofski Estate Sales were hung above a set of upholstered twin beds. Kavanaugh crowned the room with the same limewashed cedar ceiling found in the entry to tie the spaces together.
Loving the look of chinoiserie in a powder bath, Kavanaugh opted for wallpaper panels that appear hand-painted but were much more budget-friendly. The ceiling's cool tone (Benjamin Moore Blue Allure, 771) subtly highlights the Maysong Spring design by The Mural Source.
