When planning your relocation, you have plenty of things to plan and organize. If you hire professional movers to help, they will give you some guidance or an information sheet of all the items you cannot move. To prevent setbacks, it is a good idea to research what is allowed and what is not. Every moving company is different; you should confirm with them. It is also a great time to review and remove some of your household chemicals and hazardous materials. We recommend you call the city to find out how to dispose of dangerous materials.
