Moving Tips - Don't Pack These Items

What Not To Pack When Moving

It is dangerous and illegal to pack and move flammable and hazardous materials. Heat from the sun can raise temperatures inside a closed moving van to well over 150 degrees. Since vans travel through warm climates or high altitudes (both dangerous to pressurized containers) to reach their destinations, any article which may become explosive is prohibited from being placed in your shipment.

Call us at 800-452-4285 for if you have questions about what not to pack when moving.

Corrosives

Household cleaners, acids, liquid plumber and car or boat batteries.

What to do with Not to Pack Items

Call your local recycling pick-up provider, fire station, or the nearest Environmental Protection Agency office to learn how to properly dispose of flammable and hazardous materials before you move. If you have a small can of turpentine or leftover paint, ask your neighbors if they can use it. Otherwise, dispose of it properly with assistance from your recycling company or the EPA.
