So, you've got some items on the no-go list for moving day. Don't worry; we've got your back! While we can't transport certain materials due to safety regulations, there are alternative options to consider. Let's explore some safe alternatives for those restricted items.

1. Combustible Liquids and Corrosive Liquids:

- Instead of packing these items, consider using them up before your move. Give them to a neighbor or friend who can use them, or properly dispose of them at a hazardous waste facility in your area.

2. Explosives and Gases, Compressed:

- For explosives like fireworks or compressed gases like propane tanks, it's best to leave them behind. Consider selling or giving them away locally if they're still usable. If not, contact your local waste management authority for safe disposal options.

3. Aerosol Cans and Flammables:

- Check with your local recycling center to see if they accept aerosol cans or flammable items for disposal. Many facilities have special programs for hazardous materials. If not, they can advise you on the safest way to dispose of these items.

4. Motorized Equipment/Vehicles:

- If you're unable to transport motorized equipment due to gas or battery restrictions, consider draining the gas and removing the battery yourself. This way, you can transport the equipment safely or arrange for alternative transportation.

While some items are off-limits for moving day, there are plenty of safe alternatives to consider. By planning ahead and finding suitable alternatives for restricted items, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free moving experience with Movher. Remember, safety always comes first! If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help make your move as easy as possible.

Hear What Our Satisfied Clients Have To Say

We had received an estimate from Movher and decided to try a less expensive option. When the other company totally botched it and was unprepared for our move, we called Movher and told them we had a moving emergency. They were able to round up a crew on the same day and they did an excellent job getting us packed out and moved. They are definitely worth the cost. Very professional and quality work. We will use them again for our moving needs in the future.

From beginning to end: getting the quote to the actual move (moving large and small furniture to final locations) each person I interact with was kind, upbeat and helpful! The movers were quicker than quoted! Incredibly helpful and respectful of the space!! The admin team who got me the quote and set everything up were incredible!! Would highly recommend and use MovHer for any and all moving these moving forward!

Denise B.

A mandatory move, as we were changing companies. We had used Moveher before, always with excellent service. But we thought it was very expensive this time, so we hired a lesser cost company. That company no-showed us. Complete chaos. We called Moveher and on a Saturday, after rejecting their bid, in a matter of hours, they were able to call in an emergency crew that solved all our problems with excellence. Friendly, professional, excellent service! We will never doubt them again!

Wonderful experience moving with MovHer! They were very professional and super helpful every step of the way. We had a 4 bedroom house, garage and shed to move in two days and they did a great job and put everything in the correct rooms. Went above and beyond to help with anything we needed and even came up with a great idea for how to move a Lego Eiffel Tower without breaking it. Very happy and would recommend to anyone!

Cassie F.

Prompt, courteous, and professional! We've had others move us in town and across country - so we are always skeptical and expecting the worst experience. NOT this time. From the first contact we knew we made the right choice. The help was the best -- took the stress out of a move like no other we've had. They even took time to get to know us and share about themselves. I would recommend this company to anyone. You are paying for something beyond just service. They care.
