What Not To Move…

Many of us over think the moving process and what and how to pack for a move. Something to consider is that you will not always be able to take along boxes if they are filled with prohibited items. To prevent making your move stressful and complicated, stay away from packing the following items:

 

Dangerous Items

Fertilizer

Paints

Car Batteries

Matches

Nail Polish & Remover

Batteries

Loaded Weapons

Weed Killer

Ammonia

Lamp Oil

Propane

Ammunition

Liquid Bleach

Aerosols

Kerosene

Pool Chemicals

Chemistry Sets

Fireworks

Motor Oil

Paint Thinner

Cleaning Fluid

Acid

Darkroom Chemicals

Pesticides

Motor Oil

Gasoline

Charcoal

Lighter Fluid

The items above will need special equipment to handle, so make sure to talk to your moving company to assess how best to handle the moving of these items.

Perishable Items

Make sure to check with your moving company before packing perishable items whether or not they move them as many times this is not allowed.

 

Heat sensitive items

These items are often overlooked but are very important to remember! Candles, CD’s, computers and electronics are all things that should be considered before throwing in a box.

 

Items with high value

This is pretty obvious, but you should always consider the items that are most expensive and keep them with or close to you to prevent any loss or theft. Also, high value can mean high in sentimental value in addition to monetary value.
