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 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.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Still a young man in his own right, Bobby Ruff is now tasked with finding young men that fit at Liberty University.
“Our job is really to evaluate every player we can. From high school; juco, transfer portal. Really to try to find the best of the best of the best,” said West Ashley native Bobby Ruff.
The West Ashley High alum is the new assistant director of player personnel with the Flames.
According to his high school head coach Bobby Marion, Ruff has always had that coach’s mindset.
“He was always wanting to know the gameplan, wanting to know what we were going to do and how we were going to attack the other team defensively,” said Marion.
You may recall, Bobby, the son of The Citadel legend Brian Ruff chose to attend Charleston Southern.
He was recruited by then head coach Jamey Chadwell.
Over Christmas Chadwell brought bobby on board again, this time at Liberty.
“Just the fact that he took the time out of his day to call me and wanted me to work for him. I mean it just meant the world. Him just being a mentor to me. It would be very, very, very stupid to turn that down,” said Ruff.
The relationship Ruff and Chadwell forged and maintained went a long way as Bobby forges his own path in the game he loves.
“I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is just positive interactions go a long way. Always find a way to have a positive interaction with someone because you never know where they’re going to be, what kind of phone call you’re going to have to make or vice versa.”
Bobby Ruff will be busy on his phone with national signing day looming next Wednesday
Bobby Marion is not surprised by his former linebacker’s new role and coaching success.
“I’ve coached at three of the major high schools around here now and Bobby’s one of the finest guys, finest players, and finest people that I’ve coached over the years,” exclaimed Marion.
Trading in his Bucs blue and gold for Liberty red make time some adjusting.
But just like with his new job, it may end up being a perfect fit.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Only one CCSD school board seat remains up for grabs.
District 6 voters can now cast their ballot for who they would like to see take that empty seat.
Two candidates remain - Daron Lee Calhoun II and Lee Runyon.
Calhoun has served on the CCSD Constituent School Board for three years.
He says, this position has allowed him to get to know the community, teachers, students, and administrators.
“I believe I have the trust of the community to actually speak up for them and fight for the things they need,” said Calhoun.
Meanwhile, Lee Runyon is a retired educator.
He spent 30 years in CCSD and Colleton County School District as a teacher, principal, and coach.
“Having the experience, and being in the system for over 3 decades, I know what the hot push button topics that the district is doing currently,” said Runyon.
Calhoun says, he wants to prioritize diversity in curriculum, and will work to keep public school’s public.
“If we see something that is working elsewhere, we don’t need to move it to a charter model, we don’t move it to a privatized model,” says Calhoun.
Runyon believes providing options for parents and students is critical.
“We need to look at ways that we can grow our menu of options especially for middle schools in west Ashley, where unfortunately the district-built CE Williams a bit too small,” says Runyon.
He believes the district needs to work diligently to improve Title One Schools.
“We certainly want to put somethings in place, and some actions in place, sooner than later, that will evoke great action for those title 1 kids,” says Runyon.
Runyon is backed by the Conservative nonprofit Moms for Liberty which focuses on parental rights in schools.
But he says he’s remained nonpartisan and carries endorsements from both sides of the aisle.
“They vetted my potential opportunity for leadership on the board as being impactful, and these organizations believe I am best fit for the job,” says Runyon.
The early voting period ends Friday, February 3rd and the general election will be held February 7th.

WEST ASHLEY, S.C. (WCBD) – They’re in the sky, perched in trees, and on top of roofs.
Birds of all types are flocking to the Grand Bees neighborhood in West Ashley. According to neighbors, they’re leaving behind a mess.
“A lot of poop, a lot of debris left over in the yard. You know, it doesn’t matter how many times they clean it. It’s like ‘where’d this napkin come from, where’d this come?’” said Jamie Weiler, a Grand Bees resident.
The Lennar housing development is located right off Bees Ferry Road, next to a large Charleston County landfill.
Katie Fox moved to the neighborhood one year ago and said the birds are dropping off lots of trash when they fly in.
Wrappers, feminine products, chicken bones, and even needles are just a few of the items neighbors have seen in their yards.
“I have tons of trash in my backyard that I often use one of those trash claws to pick up because I don’t want to catch any diseases from this,” Fox said. “And then many kids can’t go out and play. Dogs are choking on bones. They had to go to the vet to get those removed from their stomach. So, it’s been pretty bad. We’re all running out of ideas.”
Fox said she’s woken up by the sound of the crows every morning. The noise doesn’t stop until the evening.
Jamie Weiler said the birds weren’t a problem when the homes were being built. Little did he know, a few months later, he would have some unexpected neighbors.
“Since there’s no construction noise there’s no hammering or anything like that. They’re not scared so they’re just hanging out, hanging out, hanging out. So, it’s gotten worse over time,” Weiler explained.
According to Charleston County officials, the landfill has been there since the 1970s.
News 2 reached out to Lennar’s Charleston office, but we have not heard back. We also made calls with county leaders in hopes of getting some answers.
