What not to pack (and what movers will not take)

Knowing what not to pack avoids delays and safety issues. Movers will not transport hazardous, perishable, or irreplaceable items, so plan to carry or dispose of these yourself.

Items to keep out of the moving truck.

When: Sort these out in the final week as you finish packing.

Watch out: Do not hide hazardous items in boxes; they can leak, ignite, or get your shipment refused.
