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!<\/span><\/p>\n

Combustible Materials<\/b><\/h3>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perishables<\/b><\/h3>\n

Containers cannot keep perishable items, like food, fresh. If they are not kept cool, the food will spoil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chemicals<\/b><\/h3>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Explosives<\/b><\/h3>\n

Both people and property are at risk when explosives, ammunition, or firecrackers are stored in containers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Animals<\/b><\/h3>\n

You cannot transport dead or alive animals in containers, including all pets and farm animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/p>\n
