Relocating to a new home can be a hassle – years of collected household items need to be boxed up. Due to the hassle involved, many people opt to hire a moving company to handle the relocation of items. When considering moving providers, acquaintances, family and friends can help with recommendations. Searching the Internet (i.e. ‘moving company‘) can also provide you with a list of companies to research. Most moving companies will impose restrictions on the things they are willing to transport, however. So before moving day arrives, you will need to dispose of, or arrange transportation for the following items: Perishable Items: Transporting produce and refrigerated/frozen food will not have a happy ending in a non-climate-controlled moving truck. Live Animals: A moving truck is no place for a living creature. Take your pets with you or find a pet transportation specialist. Plants: Don’t count on your mover to transport your plants either – they are too fragile and sensitive. Hazardous Materials: Due to risk of fire and explosion, moving companies find it too risky to move household chemicals (i.e. paint thinner, ammonia, bleach, lighter fluid). The same holds true for charcoal, fireworks, batteries, and pressurized items like aerosol cans and propane tanks. If you do not wish to dispose of these items, you should consult with a provider that is trained in hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation. Firearms: For a variety of legal and insurance reasons, you will need to move your guns and ammunition yourself.
