Hiring residential movers in New Jersey is a great way to reduce the stress of your move. With the ability to kick back and relax, you'll be able to focus on what matters most—ensuring that your family is comfortably settled into your new home. However, it's essential to ensure that you're accounting for the items that a moving company can't move.

For nearly a century, Reliable Van and Storage has been the most trusted moving and storage company in New Jersey. You can count on us with our team of professionally trained movers and access to top-of-the-line equipment.

In this blog, we're going to tell you how to plan for the items that the moving company won't move.

Garage Items

Always ensure that all gasoline in motor-powered equipment like the lawnmower and weedeater is emptied before the moving company arrives. Because of the explosion risk, gas and fertilizer for your garden will be allowed in the moving truck.

Firearms

Laws state that only the person who owns a firearm can have it. With this in mind, your moving company will not be able to move your guns. And if you’re hiring long-distance movers, you’ll want to check the local laws around moving your weapons across state lines.

Houseplants

With all the movement and cramped space in the back of the moving truck, it could be better to transport houseplants this way. If you're a houseplant lover, you'll want to plan and ensure that your plants arrive at your new destination before or after hiring movers.

Dealing with Laundry

There are shared laundry room items that contain hazardous material, making them too dangerous to be transported in a moving truck.. Here's a short list of common chemicals that will need to be disposed of:

  • Ammonia
  • Bleach
  • Other Flammable Materials

Kitchen

Perishable items need to be consumed or thrown away before your move. Due to the risk of this food spoiling in the moving truck, it's best not to transport them to your new home. Canned items will be allowed to travel in the moving truck.
