Though it’s tempting to store any and all of your items, certain objects are off-limits. To ensure the security of your belongings and avoid problems, familiarize yourself with what’s not allowed by consulting this list!

Combustible Materials

It’s essential to be aware that certain materials are hazardous and are not allowed for shipments, such as gasoline, pesticides, explosives, oil-chlorine bleach, and more. These hazardous items must never be moved inside containers.

Perishables

Containers cannot keep perishable items, like food, fresh. If they are not kept cool, the food will spoil.

Chemicals

To protect people and our environment, it is paramount to store hazardous materials like pesticides, cleaning supplies, and pool chemicals securely in a locked area instead of using a portable storage container.

Explosives

Both people and property are at risk when explosives, ammunition, or firecrackers are stored in containers.

Animals

You cannot transport dead or alive animals in containers, including all pets and farm animals.

Before you embark on your journey, come up with a plan to bring all the necessities. For example, consider shipping items ahead of time or opting for transportation that doesn’t require bringing everything along at once. This way, you can make sure nothing gets lost during travel and let traveling be simpler!

Make sure your big move goes off without a hitch by researching and comparing several moving companies in advance. Ask any questions that come to mind so that you can make an informed decision about the company best suited for your needs. That way, all of your belongings will arrive safely at their new home, and there won’t be any unexpected surprises on moving day! Enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything is taken care of ahead of time.
