Moving Monday Tips

Do NOT pack these items with other household belongings.

Consider what should not be packed in the moving truck. Some things can be hazardous during the moving process, so it is best to move them separately or dispose of them before moving. Also another way to secure items such as bleach and other liquid items is to put a piece of saran wrap under the cap. This helps it from leaking all over the place.

Tools, painting equipment and cleaning chemicals should be packed together in clearly marked boxes. You may want to use plastic totes to prevent messy or dangerous leaks. Pack bottles and medications together and keep them separate from other belongings.

Other items to pack separately:

Fire Extinguishers

Ammonia

Chlorine granules

Heating agents like Sterno

Paints and varnishes

Auto batteries
