Moving Prohibited Items

---

Before your things are packed and loaded, please take some time to look over the items that we cannot put on a truck or in a container. Hazardous and perishable materials are not allowed, and we recommend that you keep sentimental or personally important items with you.

NOTE: You should empty your refrigerators and freezers and keep appliance doors open for at least 24 hours in advance of  loading. This will allow appliances to dry out and prevent the growth of mold.
