Tips For Moving Non-Allowables
Tips For Moving Non-Allowables
When moving with a professional moving company in WPB it’s important to understand that some items, by law, simply can not be moved by the company. If you are planning to move certain items that you may question if they are allowed or not, this is a must-read before you move! That is why we created these Tips For Moving Non-Allowables.
To start, typical non-allowable items will fall under three different categories. Those categories are:
- Items your moving company will not move, except under special circumstances.
- Items your moving company simply can not move.
- Items you should simply plan to move yourself.
Here is a comprised list of some items that are considered hazardous by moving companies, and you will have to plan to either move yourself, or properly dispose of:
Acids
Aerosols
Ammonia
Ammunition
Car Batteries
Charcoal
Charcoal Lighter Fluid
Chemistry Sets
Cleaning Solvents
Darkroom Chemicals
Fire Extinguisher
Fireworks
Gasoline
Household Batteries
Kerosene
Lamp Oil
Liquid Bleach
Loaded Guns
Matches
Motor Oil
Nail Polish and Remover
Paint Thinner
Paints
Pesticides
Poisons
Pool Chemicals
Propane Tanks
Gun Reloading Supplies
Scuba Tanks
Sterno®
Weed Killer
Take into consideration simply passing these items along to a neighbor, or simply transporting them yourself. If you are unable to rid the items or are unwilling to transport yourself, you can also contact your local sanitation department to find options to properly dispose of some of these extremely hazardous materials.
If you have any additional questions regarding if you are potentially moving a hazardous or non-allowable item, as well as moving companies policies on transporting them, be sure and contact us on our toll-free number at: 800-373-MOVE (6683).
We are always more than happy to answer any questions or concerns regarding your upcoming relocation.
