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. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time or patience to get rid of these items in an efficient, eco-friendly way. That's where Labor Bros junk removal swoops in to save the day.

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 West Ashley, 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. 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.

Legami is a new Italian restaurant boasting a chef brought in from Rome by a family with roots in Turin, Italy. Washington Street Hospitality, which controls three Pasta Beach restaurants in New England, thought the King Street building would be another location for Pasta Beach, but decided to switch it up once they got into the historic building. Chef Andrea Congiusta cooks modern Italian fare with some influences from France. “We took inspiration from the classic fine dining, but we also want to have something fun, something that looks very fancy, and something you can crave,” says Congiusta.

Charleston is going crazy for soup dumplings, and newcomer Chef Loong Dim Sum delivers. The restaurant offers four flavors (pork soup, chicken soup, pork tomato soup, and truffle pork soup). The rest of the menu is quite extensive as well, with selections ranging from Sichuan mala chicken, crab rangoon, dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, and more.
The team behind Italian favorite Le Farfalle has an enticing new cafe in Charleston. The focus of Da Toscano Porchetta Shop is the housemade focaccia and everything that can be sandwiched between the airy bread.

There’s also choices like prime rib, roast chicken, marinated eggplant, and so much more.
Chef Micheal Toscano recently opened a taco shop next to his Italian restaurant Le Farfalle. Blanca Estrada is Toscano’s ode to his Mexican mother and grandmother, whose cooking was an early influence on his culinary journey. The kitchen offers a selection of tacos, from cochinita pibil to lengua, several specials, like a lamb neck burrito, and several tequila drinks and pineapple vinegar soda.
Charming new hotel the Dunlin offers sweeping views of the Kiawah River, abundant hospitality, and coastal Southern fare in its signature restaurant, Linnette’s.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A long-awaited project that would make the City of Charleston more accessible and connected for pedestrians, cyclists and other nonmotorized users will finally become a reality Wednesday.
The Ashley River Crossing pedestrian bridge project has been in the works for almost 15 years now and after undergoing several changes and design revisions, the plan is complete, so the project will begin Wednesday afternoon. Leaders for the City of Charleston will break ground and begin construction on this massive project.
This bridge will connect West Ashley to downtown Charleston.
Project leaders plan to start construction on the West Ashley side and build across to the downtown side, connecting to Brittlebank Park, Bee Street and Lockwood Drive and then eventually tying into the City Marina.
Chief Policy Officer for the City of Charleston Logan McVey said that they plan to connect many projects within this one including the Ashley River Walk and the Battery extension with one goal in mind: making the City of Charleston one, connected city.
“That’s what’ll be really important is the idea of the City working together and us viewing the City not as different places - as West Ashley versus Downtown or Downtown versus West Ashley - but as one city that is connected with just a little bit of water in between,” McVey said.
In theory, once this project is complete, it would be possible to bike or walk all the way from outer West Ashley to the Isle of Palms.
The vision is that pedestrians and cyclists could take the West Ashley Greenway to the Ashley River Crossing then ride around the peninsula using the Battery extension to ultimately hop on the Ravenel Bridge. It is all about connectivity within the city, which is something leaders have been really trying to prioritize.
This project originally began under the city’s former leadership, but City Council approved the suggestions Mayor Cogswell made to the project and it will now also include a viewing platform of the Ashley River.
The project in total will cost about $90 million, which will mostly come from federal funding.
As it is such a big project, McVey said that city leaders wanted to make sure they were making the best use of this money. He said they decided to be intentional in connecting this with several other pedestrian and mobility projects in the area.
“The idea is that you’ve got something that is going to be a pretty big investment… how can the city connect that investment to other investments we are making? That’s the battery extension, that’s the Lowline, that’s all of the bike and pedestrian improvements that we are making downtown. How do all of these tie together to create a system that allows people to get around without getting into a car, takes pressure off our roads, but also makes us a healthier, better, more connected city,” McVey said.
City leaders will host a groundbreaking ceremony to commence the beginning of construction for this project Boulevard from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. The groundbreaking will take place at the construction site on the West Ashley side located at 25 Folly Road Blvd.

Bye, bye, endless shrimp. West Ashley might be getting an even better deal, with a health kicker.
A freestanding emergency department to be operated by the Medical University of South Carolina is being reviewed by the city of Charleston. The development is proposed for the 2080 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. — the site of a shuttered Red Lobster.
The location would complement the existing MUSC Health West Ashley Pavilion, which opened nearby at Citadel Mall in December 2019 within the former JC Penney department store.
Sebastian Davis with ADC Engineering spoke on behalf of the applicant for the project Dec. 12, requesting preliminary approval from the city's Technical Review Committee.
“We are planning to provide a new building, essentially, that fits the site better,” he said.
Plans call for a single-story structure. MUSC, which was still finalizing plans as of its board of directors meeting last week, plans to lease the building, according to Andrew Pardue of E4H Environments for Health Architecture.
The property owner is affiliated with Plano, Texas-based Intuitive Health, a physician-led company that specializes in emergency care. It bought the former seafood restaurant, which Red Lobster vacated in early 2023, for $3.75 million in October.
Currently, there is no access to the property from Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. The entrance is around the corner on Orleans Road. Access to the property from The Citadel Mall is an easement, not a right of way.
Some of the proposed renovations include tearing out the existing chain-link fences and adding sidewalks.
"This whole bookend of Sam Rittenberg is critical to the future of that corridor," said Eric Schultz, the Technical Review Committee's administrator.
“We want this to be really dressed up and a really good-looking building and landscape," he added.
The applicants next meet with the city's zoning board.
A warehouse at 6470 Dorchester Road in North Charleston has sold for $3.85 million.
Built in 2022, the 18,352-square-foot property formerly was home to Majestic Bath & Kitchen and Atlantic Coast Electric Supply.
The property consists of two showroom areas and a large interior office space with a mix of private and communal offices. Two roll-up doors are located in the back of the warehouse, along with a loading dock and a fenced laydown yard. The city of North Charleston rezoned the property to light industrial in March 2021.
The buyer is Tavares Properties LP, and the seller is Dorchester Road Properties SC LLC, according to county real estate records.
One of the Charleston's oldest and largest real estate firms has added an Upstate property to its portfolio.
The Beach Co., through its Beach Real Estate Funds affiliate, has acquired Ryder Junction Apartments in Greer. The community features 264 units with resort-style amenities at 900 Conductor Circle.
The deal is the third investment for Beach Investment Fund II, following properties in Charlotte and Orlando.
Despite a summertime structural scare that forced a building-wide evacuation, the iconic Peoples Building in downtown Charleston continues to gain new tenants. The latest addition: Frontier Growth, a private equity firm that targets investments in the software-as-a-service sector.

WEST ASHLEY, S.C. (WCBD) – More than a dozen children who experienced loss from a highway tragedy this year gathered at a West Ashley retailer to shop with state troopers.
Troopers and officers from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, with support from the SC Troopers Association and Walmart, hosted “Shop with a Cop” on Wednesday. Each child was given a $150 Walmart gift card to spend on whatever they wished.
Troopers shopped with 15 children at the Walmart in West Ashley to bring them joy amid their first holiday season without a loved one. They hope to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and youth.
“I think just building the respect and trust for them we weren’t there when they were passed but I think for my kids in their community being supported by those people and showing my kids they’re not just here for the tragic times too or the bad times,” said Carly Williamson, a ‘Shop with a Cop’ attendee.
Parents say while this is a great event for the holiday spirit, it also highlights another important message of road safety. One mom hopes her story will stop teenagers from drinking and driving.
“We are here because my daughter was in an accident in Walterboro that seriously injured her and took the life of her best friend, so I am speaking out against drunk driving and I am speaking out against parents who know their kids are doing it,” said Jennifer Wiggins, a ‘Shop with a Cop’ attendee.
Cpl. Nick Pye with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said the event is special for the troopers to get a break during the holiday season.
“It gives them a chance to relax, let their hair down a bit, encounter these kids, and build that special bond with them,” he said.
Some children picked out all their gifts quickly while others took the full two hours.
“It’s the most amazing thing to watch these kids just be so happy and their faces light up when they realize they get to get whatever they want and it’s really important to us to be able to give whatever they want whatever this holiday season,” said Amy Osborne, Senior Manager Community Relations Walmart
Seven Walmart stores across the state and more than 140 children participated in this year’s event.
