5 Things You Shouldn’t Put in a Storage Container

Published: October 01, 2022

Many individuals believe that anything they want can be placed in a container. On the other hand, some items are not permitted to be carried in a storage container. It’s critical to understand what they are so you can plan ahead of time. The following is a list of things that cannot be transported in your storage container:

Combustible materials

It is not possible to ship any hazardous materials like gasoline, pesticides, explosives, and oil-chlorine bleach. It’s also unlawful to transport these items in moving containers.

Perishables

Containers are not meant to preserve perishable items like food. If these goods aren’t kept cool, they will go bad.

Chemicals

Never store pesticides, cleaning supplies, or pool chemicals in an unlocked container. Careless handling of these substances can be dangerous to both humans and the environment.

Explosives

Storing explosives, ammunition, or firecrackers in containers is unsafe for people and property.

Animals

No animals, dead or alive, are allowed in containers during transport. This rule applies to all pets and farm animals.

If you need to bring any of the items listed above with you on your journey, you’ll either have to come up with another method of transportation or figure out how to transport them some other way. You might be able to send one item at a time or find an alternative approach to transporting everything from your home to where you’re going without risking their safety.

No matter what the situation is, always get in touch with your chosen moving company and see what their policy says about these types of things. If you plan and organize everything ahead of time, you can be positive that all your belongings will arrive at your new home safely.
