Moving Companies in Bal dock Planning on bringing your plants with you on an interstate move? Be aware that the movers may not be allowed to move certain plants to your new state.

According to the National Plant Board, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and plant health agencies in each of the 50 states “regulate the shipment of nursery and greenhouse stock in an effort to minimize the spread of harmful insects, diseases, and other pests.” So before you start packing those plants for the move, make sure to check with your State Plant Regulatory Official first.

For a local move, we suggest packing and bringing the plants yourself. Just ensure that all potted plants are wrapped and secured in plastic wrap to avoid any unwanted plant destruction in the car. If you’re moving long-distance or just don’t want to hassle with moving your plants, ask the new homeowners if they’d like the plants. Or, you can gift them to friends and neighbors. Local schools, nursing homes and hospitals may welcome them as well.

6. Nail polish and nail polish remover
Thinking of throwing all that nail polish in a box? Think again. Movers won’t move your nail polish remover or your Ruby Red polish. That’s because both products are extremely flammable under certain conditions (such as exposure to an open flame or even heat). These toxic products (and all chemicals) should be handled with care when moving to a new home. If you’re moving far away, we strongly suggest tossing them and replacing them once you arrive at your new home.

7. Outdoor equipment
Moving Companies in Bal dock You may not be able to move your lawn and pool equipment either. Acids and treatment chemicals qualify as hazardous materials and should be disposed of before moving day or left behind for the new owners. The same is true for weed killers, fertilizers and pesticides. If you’re unsure whether you can move a product, be sure to ask your moving company.

Generally, you can move your lawn and outdoor equipment, such as a generator. Just remove as much gas and oil as you can from the system several days before loading it onto the moving truck. This should allow you plenty of time to dispose of the gas and oil properly following local environmental regulations.
