Safe Moving: Alternatives for Restricted Items

So, you've got some items on the no-go list for moving day. Don't worry; we've got your back! While we can't transport certain materials due to safety regulations, there are alternative options to consider. Let's explore some safe alternatives for those restricted items.


1. Combustible Liquids and Corrosive Liquids:

   - Instead of packing these items, consider using them up before your move. Give them to a neighbor or friend who can use them, or properly dispose of them at a hazardous waste facility in your area.


2. Explosives and Gases, Compressed:

   - For explosives like fireworks or compressed gases like propane tanks, it's best to leave them behind. Consider selling or giving them away locally if they're still usable. If not, contact your local waste management authority for safe disposal options.


3. Aerosol Cans and Flammables:

   - Check with your local recycling center to see if they accept aerosol cans or flammable items for disposal. Many facilities have special programs for hazardous materials. If not, they can advise you on the safest way to dispose of these items.


4. Motorized Equipment/Vehicles:

   - If you're unable to transport motorized equipment due to gas or battery restrictions, consider draining the gas and removing the battery yourself. This way, you can transport the equipment safely or arrange for alternative transportation.



While some items are off-limits for moving day, there are plenty of safe alternatives to consider. By planning ahead and finding suitable alternatives for restricted items, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free moving experience with Movher. Remember, safety always comes first!
