       Hazardous Household Items Movers Can’t (and Won’t) Touch

      Hazardous Household Items Movers Can’t (and Won’t) Touch

      Published 07/29/2025 | Posted by Sonia Comisarenco


      Hi there! If you’re preparing for a move, here's something many people don’t realize: moving companies won’t handle certain hazardous materials—no matter how well-packed they are.

      Why? Because these items can leak, explode, or create dangerous reactions during transport. Think about it: bumpy roads, hot trucks, high altitudes—all of those conditions make some products risky for movers, their equipment, and even your other belongings.

      Below are three main categories of items moving companies won’t move, plus some tips on how to properly dispose of them before your big day:

       Flammable or Explosive Items

      These can pose serious risks if shaken, heated, or under pressure.

      Common examples:

      Aerosol cans (e.g., air fresheners, hairspray)

      Fire extinguishers

      Propane tanks (for grills)

      Gasoline cans

      Paint thinner

      Kerosene

      Matches and lighters

      Alcohol

      Motor oil

      Oxygen tanks or other oxidizers

       Toxic, Corrosive, or Reactive Substances

      These products can burn skin, release harmful fumes, or cause chemical reactions.

      Common examples:

      Car and household batteries

      Nail polish and remover

      Paint (latex or oil-based)

      Liquid bleach

      Drain cleaners

      Weed killers and pesticides

      Pool chemicals

      Antifreeze

      Hydrogen peroxide

      Products containing sulfuric or hydrochloric acid

       Weapons & Related Materials

      Even if legal, movers won’t transport items that could be used as weapons or explosive devices.

      Common examples:

      Firearms

      Ammunition

      Fireworks

      Fertilizers (some are highly combustible)

      Ammonia-based cleaners

       What Should You Do With These Items?

      As you pack, set aside anything hazardous in a clearly marked area. Then, dispose of them safely and legally.

      Helpful tips:

      Don’t toss them in the trash—this could harm sanitation workers or the environment.

      Check your county or city’s website for hazardous waste drop-off days or collection services.

      Many communities offer free or low-cost disposal programs for items like paint, batteries, and chemicals.

      You can also check out this helpful guide for disposal tips: How to Dispose of Hazardous Waste Before You Move

       Final Tip

      If you're not sure about an item, ask your mover ahead of time—or better yet, take it in your own car or dispose of it before the move. It’s one less thing to worry about on moving day!
