Moving tips: Ineligible and dangerous items

For your safety and ours, there are numerous items that are prohibited from being carried in our removals vehicles or stored at our secure Central Coast storage facility. These include flammable, explosive or toxic items such as gas bottles, aerosol cans, swimming pool treatments, pesticides, oils, cleaning solvents, paint or fertilisers (a comprehensive list of items, listed alphabetically, appears below).

Perishable items such as foodstuff and delicate items including pot plants are permitted however alternative, more closely monitored transport may be preferred. And please mark boxes accordingly if they contain fragile items.

If moving plants is unavoidable, it’s suggested you refrain from watering them in the week leading up to your move and place pots in waterproof bags that will contain spillover of soil or water.

Please, if you have any doubts about the safe transport of items in your possession, please set them aside and bring them to the attention of our removals team, or phone us on 1300 00 6683 for advice.
